Description

n-Cyclopropene-L-Lysine is a specialized, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a cyclopropene ring, a highly reactive functional group. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block and research chemical for advanced organic synthesis and biochemical studies. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, agrochemical research, and as a precursor for novel peptide-based materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a key synthetic intermediate for novel drug candidates, particularly in the development of enzyme inhibitors and targeted therapeutics.
• Bioconjugation & Chemical Biology: The reactive cyclopropene moiety enables site-specific labeling and modification of biomolecules via bioorthogonal chemistry, such as inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reactions.
• Agrochemical Innovation: Used in the synthesis of novel amino acid-based plant growth regulators or bioactive compounds with potential pesticidal or herbicidal activity.
• Peptide & Protein Engineering: Incorporated into synthetic peptides to introduce conformational constraints or novel reactivity, enabling the creation of peptides with enhanced stability or specific biological functions.
• Material Science: Acts as a monomer or cross-linker for developing functionalized polymers and smart materials with responsive properties.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A critical tool for studying reaction mechanisms, metabolic pathways, and as a standard in analytical method development.

Quality Control

Our n-Cyclopropene-L-Lysine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral integrity, NMR, and MS for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label or COA. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
