Description

Methylguanidine Hydrochloride is a high-purity organic salt widely used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis and biochemical research. Its primary value lies in its role as a versatile building block for creating more complex guanidine derivatives, which are crucial in medicinal chemistry. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and life science sectors, particularly for developing novel therapeutic agents and conducting metabolic studies. We supply CAS NO 22661-87-6 to meet the stringent demands of global industrial and R&D applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those targeting cardiovascular and neurological pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in metabolic studies, enzyme inhibition assays, and research related to nitric oxide synthase and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for developing novel herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Organic Synthesis: A valuable guanylating agent for introducing the guanidine functional group into complex organic molecules.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of specific reagents for clinical diagnostics and analytical chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Methylguanidine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific results for purity, appearance, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
