Description

3-Aminobenzamidine is a high-purity, specialized chemical building block and protease inhibitor. This compound is valued for its role as a potent and selective active site inhibitor for serine proteases like trypsin and thrombin. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors, serving as a critical intermediate in drug discovery and biochemical research applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents, particularly protease-targeted drugs.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a selective inhibitor in enzymatic studies to investigate the function and mechanism of serine proteases like trypsin, thrombin, and plasmin.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of diagnostic kits and assays that utilize protease activity for detection.
• Proteomics & Cell Biology: A valuable tool for controlling proteolytic activity in cell lysates and protein purification workflows to prevent degradation.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile precursor for the synthesis of more complex benzamidine derivatives and heterocyclic compounds.

Quality Control

Our 3-Aminobenzamidine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment.

Storage

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