Description

Methoxyethoxy 5-Aminolevulinate Hydrochloride is a specialized hydrochloride salt derivative of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a key biochemical precursor in the heme biosynthesis pathway. This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to the parent 5-ALA, making it a critical intermediate in advanced pharmaceutical and photodynamic therapy research. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agrochemical sectors for developing novel therapeutics and plant growth regulators.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of prodrugs used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a precursor in studies of porphyrin metabolism, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and cellular heme regulation.
• Agrochemical Development: Investigated for use in plant growth regulators and compounds that influence chlorophyll production and stress resistance in crops.
• Cosmeceutical Actives: Potential ingredient in topical formulations targeting skin conditions, leveraging its role in cellular metabolism.
• Veterinary Medicine: Research into therapeutic applications for animal health, similar to human medical uses.
• Diagnostic Agent Synthesis: Intermediate for developing diagnostic compounds that utilize porphyrin accumulation in target tissues.

Quality Control

Our Methoxyethoxy 5-Aminolevulinate Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and control of specific impurities to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
