Description

Dl-Carnitine:Hcl, o-Isovaleryl Unlabeled is a chemically modified derivative of carnitine, specifically the O-isovaleryl ester of DL-carnitine hydrochloride. This compound is significant as a key intermediate or reference standard in the research and development of metabolic agents and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, contract research organizations (CROs), and fine chemical manufacturers focused on metabolic disorders, nutritional supplements, and advanced biochemical synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical building block in the synthesis of novel carnitine-based therapeutics and prodrugs.
• Biochemical Research: Used as an unlabeled standard or reference compound in analytical method development (HPLC, LC-MS) and metabolic pathway studies.
• Nutritional Science R&D: Investigated for its potential role in lipid metabolism and as a precursor in specialized nutritional formulations.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in custom synthesis and process development for high-value, specialized chemical entities.
• Quality Control & Standardization: Acts as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality assurance of commercial carnitine derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Dl-Carnitine:Hcl, o-Isovaleryl Unlabeled is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and tests for residual solvents and moisture, to ensure it meets exacting research-grade specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results 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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity.
