Description

n-Myristoyl-L-Serine Sodium Salt is a high-purity, synthetically derived amino acid derivative, specifically the sodium salt of the N-myristoylated form of L-serine. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive peptides and specialized surfactants. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biotechnology sectors for its utility in creating novel compounds with targeted functionalities.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for the synthesis of peptide-based drugs, prodrugs, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Used in the development of mild, high-performance surfactants and emulsifiers for skincare and haircare products.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway research, and proteomics.
• Peptide Synthesis: An essential reagent in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis for introducing the myristoyl moiety.
• Lipidated Protein Studies: Used in research focused on protein lipidation, specifically S-palmitoylation and N-myristoylation processes.
• Specialty Surfactants: A precursor for synthesizing amino acid-based surfactants known for their biodegradability and skin compatibility.
