Description

L-Serine, n-(1-Oxohexadecyl)-, Tetradecyl Ester is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid L-serine, modified with long-chain fatty acid groups. This specialized amphiphilic structure makes it a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of complex lipids, surfactants, and bioactive conjugates. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for developing novel drug delivery systems, emulsifiers, and high-value biochemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing novel lipid prodrugs, peptide mimetics, and targeted drug delivery vehicles.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredient: Used in the formulation of high-performance emulsifiers, skin-conditioning agents, and stabilizers for creams and lotions.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a crucial reagent in lipidomics research, membrane studies, and the development of synthetic phospholipids.
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for creating non-ionic and cationic surfactants with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.
• Material Science: Employed in the surface modification of polymers and the creation of functionalized nanomaterials.

Quality Control

Our L-Serine, n-(1-Oxohexadecyl)-, Tetradecyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, enantiomeric purity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation due to moisture absorption.
