Description

7,8-Diaminopelargonic Acid is a key biochemical intermediate and a vital precursor in the biosynthesis of biotin (vitamin B7). This compound matters significantly for its role in enzymatic cofactor synthesis and as a building block for advanced research in metabolic pathways. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical synthesis sectors, as well as by research institutions conducting studies on vitamin metabolism and enzyme function.

Application

• Biotin (Vitamin B7) Synthesis: Serves as a critical precursor in the industrial and enzymatic production of biotin.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of novel pharmaceutical compounds targeting metabolic disorders.
• Biochemical Research: Essential for studying biotin biosynthesis pathways, enzyme mechanisms (e.g., biotin synthase), and metabolic engineering.
• Nutraceutical Manufacturing: Employed in the production of high-purity vitamin supplements and fortified food ingredients.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a specialized building block for synthesizing complex molecules in organic and medicinal chemistry.
• Enzyme Cofactor Studies: Utilized in research to understand the function and binding of biotin-dependent carboxylases.

Quality Control

Our 7,8-Diaminopelargonic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a 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.
