Description

n-Oleoyl L-Serine Methyl Ester is a high-purity synthetic amino acid derivative, specifically an oleoylated serine ester. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, where it can act as a skin-identical lipid or a building block for more complex molecules. It is primarily sought by R&D and production teams in the personal care, dermatological, and specialty chemical industries for developing next-generation bioactive products.

Application

• Cosmetic Actives: Used as a skin barrier lipid mimic and moisturizing agent in anti-aging creams, serums, and restorative lotions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a crucial synthetic precursor for novel peptide-based drugs and prodrugs.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research.
• Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulations: Acts as a functional excipient or co-lipid in the development of advanced drug delivery systems.
• Hair Care Products: Incorporated into conditioners and treatments to improve hair lipid content and manageability.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Used as a raw material for creating novel, mild amphiphilic compounds.

Quality Control

Our n-Oleoyl L-Serine Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for use in sensitive applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
