Description

n-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl)Asparagine is a functionalized amino acid derivative, offering a unique molecular scaffold with both amino and multiple hydroxyl groups. This structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules. It is particularly relevant for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and specialty chemical sectors seeking to develop novel compounds or modify peptide structures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting neurological or metabolic pathways.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: The dihydroxypropyl side chain provides sites for chemical modification, making it useful for creating linkers in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) or for attaching functional groups to biomolecules.
• Peptide Modification: Used to introduce hydrophilic characteristics or additional functional handles into synthetic peptides, altering their solubility, stability, or binding properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Actives: Potential application as a moisturizing or skin-conditioning agent in high-end cosmetic formulations due to its amino acid backbone and hygroscopic nature.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in enzymatic studies and metabolic research to investigate amino acid transport and modification pathways.
• Nutraceutical Precursor: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of specialized amino acid supplements or nootropic compounds.

Quality Control

Our n-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl)Asparagine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
