Description

3-Carboxy-2-[(15-Carboxy-1-Oxopentadecyl)Oxy]-N,N,n-Trimethyl- (2R)-1-Propanaminium is a high-purity, zwitterionic surfactant and specialty chemical intermediate with a defined stereochemistry. Its value lies in its unique molecular structure, which combines a long hydrophobic chain with a hydrophilic, charged head group, making it an effective emulsifier and surface-active agent. This compound is essential for researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, advanced material science, and personal care industries, particularly for developing targeted drug delivery systems, stabilizing complex emulsions, and creating novel functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizing agent, emulsifier, or stabilizer in lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., liposomes, nanoemulsions) to enhance bioavailability.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate or surfactant in the production of specialty polymers, functional coatings, and self-assembling monolayers.
• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a mild, high-performance emulsifier and conditioning agent in premium skincare and haircare products.
• Bioconjugation & Diagnostic Reagents: Utilized in the synthesis of fluorescent probes, bioconjugates, and diagnostic assay components due to its reactive carboxyl groups.
• Research & Development: A critical tool for academic and industrial R&D in colloid science, membrane biophysics, and novel surfactant chemistry.
