Description

N2-Decanoyl-L-Glutamine CAS NO 26060-95-7 is a high-purity, synthetic amino acid derivative where the decanoyl (capric acid) group is acylated to the α-amino nitrogen of L-glutamine. This molecular modification enhances its lipophilicity and stability, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced synthesis and formulation. It is primarily sought by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for creating novel bioactive compounds and high-performance ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel peptide-based drugs, prodrugs, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Actives: Serves as a precursor for skin-conditioning agents, moisturizers, and anti-aging compounds in premium skincare formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway research, and proteomics.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Acts as a hydrophilic head group in the design of novel, mild amino acid-based surfactants.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated for use in specialized dietary supplements and functional food ingredients due to its glutamine backbone.
• Material Science: Potential monomer for creating biodegradable polymers and hydrogels with specific functional properties.
