Description

L-Homocysteine, N,n-Dimethyl- (9Ci) is a modified amino acid derivative of homocysteine, featuring dimethylation on the nitrogen atom. This specific structural modification is of significant interest in biochemical research and pharmaceutical development for studying methylation pathways and enzyme interactions. It serves as a valuable building block and reference standard for researchers in medicinal chemistry, life sciences, and diagnostic assay development, particularly in the study of cardiovascular and neurological health markers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthetic precursor in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents targeting methylation-related disorders.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a critical reference standard and reagent in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis (e.g., one-carbon metabolism), and homocysteine-related research.
• Diagnostic Development: Employed in the calibration and validation of diagnostic assays and kits designed to measure homocysteine and its derivatives in clinical samples.
• Medicinal Chemistry: Serves as a specialized building block for creating analogs and probes to investigate structure-activity relationships (SAR) in drug discovery projects.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Utilized in universities and research institutes for fundamental studies in biochemistry, cell biology, and nutritional science.

Quality Control

Every batch of L-Homocysteine, N,n-Dimethyl- (9Ci) is manufactured and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, to ensure compliance with exacting research and development standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is available for each lot upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent product degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
