Description

Indoleglycerol Phosphate is a key biochemical intermediate, specifically the precursor to L-tryptophan in the shikimate pathway. This compound matters for its critical role in the biosynthesis of essential amino acids and various indole-derived metabolites. It is primarily needed by manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural sectors for use in fermentation processes, enzymatic studies, and as a reference standard.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Essential intermediate in the study of the shikimate and tryptophan biosynthesis pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor in the development and production of L-tryptophan and related pharmaceutical compounds.
• Fermentation Additive: Used in microbial fermentation processes to optimize yields of tryptophan and other valuable metabolites.
• Enzymology Studies: A substrate for enzymes such as indole-3-glycerol phosphate lyase and anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase.
• Reference Standard: High-purity grade material for use as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories.
• Agricultural Research: Investigated for its role in plant growth regulation and the development of bio-based agrochemicals.

Quality Control

Our Indoleglycerol Phosphate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are 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 an inert atmosphere.
