Description

D-Erythro-Sphinganine (C17 Base) is a high-purity, long-chain sphingoid base, a fundamental building block in sphingolipid biochemistry. This compound is critical for research and synthesis in lipidomics, serving as a key precursor for the generation of complex sphingolipids and ceramides. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and life science industries developing novel therapeutics, advanced lipid-based delivery systems, and high-value biochemical standards.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Lipidomics: A vital standard and precursor for studying sphingolipid metabolism, cell signaling pathways, and membrane biology.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of novel ceramide-based drugs, enzyme inhibitors, and potential therapeutics targeting cancer, inflammation, and neurological disorders.
• Cosmetic Actives Development: Serves as a key starting material for synthesizing skin-identical ceramides used in high-end skincare formulations for barrier repair and moisturization.
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Employed in manufacturing enzymes, kits, and reagents for clinical diagnostics related to lipid storage diseases.
• Cell Culture & Media Supplements: Used as a defined lipid supplement in specialized cell culture media to study lipid-dependent cellular processes.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Acts as a backbone for creating fluorescently tagged or modified sphingolipid analogs to track cellular uptake and localization.
