Description

Lysine, N2-Acetyl-, Monohydrate (9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of the essential amino acid L-Lysine, specifically the N2-acetylated form isolated as a monohydrate. This modification enhances its stability and alters its physicochemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced biochemical synthesis and research. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical sectors for applications requiring a protected lysine building block.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key protected precursor in the synthesis of peptide-based drugs, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and diagnostic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and proteomics research.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a specialized ingredient in the formulation of advanced dietary supplements and clinical nutrition products.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: An important building block for creating complex organic molecules, chiral compounds, and specialty chemicals.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use in the synthesis of conditioning agents or bioactive peptides for skin and hair care formulations.

Quality Control

Our Lysine, N2-Acetyl-, Monohydrate (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting specifications suitable for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (by HPLC), water content, and related substances is provided with every shipment.

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 absorption of atmospheric moisture.
