Description

n-(4-Hydroxy)Benzyl Ractopamine is a key chemical intermediate and derivative of the β-adrenergic agonist ractopamine. This compound matters for its role in the synthesis and research of specialized pharmaceutical and veterinary agents, where precise molecular structure is critical for activity and study. It is primarily needed by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, and fine chemical manufacturers focused on developing or analyzing performance-enhancing compounds for livestock and related metabolic studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of novel β-agonist compounds for therapeutic investigation.
• Veterinary Medicine Synthesis: Used in the production and analytical testing of ractopamine-based formulations aimed at improving feed efficiency and lean meat yield in livestock.
• Metabolic Pathway Studies: Employed as a reference standard or tracer in biochemical research to study adrenergic receptor mechanisms and metabolic effects.
• Analytical Chemistry: Functions as a high-purity standard for quality control and method development in HPLC, LC-MS, and other chromatographic analyses within regulatory and testing laboratories.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Acts as a building block for the custom synthesis of more complex, target-specific molecules in contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs).

Quality Control

Our n-(4-Hydroxy)Benzyl Ractopamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

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