Description

3-Fluoro-Dl-Valine is a fluorinated derivative of the essential amino acid valine, where a fluorine atom is introduced to modify its biochemical properties. This structural modification is critical for its role as a key building block and research tool in advanced pharmaceutical development, particularly in the creation of novel peptide-based therapeutics and enzyme inhibitors. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in medicinal chemistry, proteomics, and the development of targeted drug delivery systems.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated peptide drugs and bioactive molecules.
• Medicinal Chemistry Research: Used to study structure-activity relationships (SAR) and to modulate the metabolic stability, bioavailability, and binding affinity of lead compounds.
• Proteomics & Biochemistry: Employed as a non-natural amino acid in peptide synthesis to investigate protein function and enzyme mechanisms.
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Tracer Development: Acts as a precursor for fluorine-18 (18F) labeling, enabling the creation of diagnostic imaging agents.
• Agrochemical Research: Investigated for the development of novel fluorinated pesticides or herbicides with enhanced properties.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A fundamental reagent for universities and corporate R&D labs exploring fluorination chemistry and amino acid analogs.

Quality Control

We supply 3-Fluoro-Dl-Valine in high-purity grades suitable for research and development. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We adhere to a cGMP-compliant quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and purity.
