Description

Ammonium Oxamate is the ammonium salt of oxamic acid, a compound of significant interest in biochemical research and industrial synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a potent and specific inhibitor of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), making it a critical tool for metabolic pathway studies. This product is essential for researchers in pharmaceutical development, academic biochemistry, and diagnostic kit manufacturing who require high-purity enzyme inhibitors.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a specific inhibitor of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) for studying anaerobic glycolysis, cancer metabolism, and myocardial infarction markers.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in the research and screening of potential therapeutic agents targeting metabolic disorders and certain cancers.
• Diagnostic Reagents: A key component in the formulation of control solutions and calibrators for clinical diagnostic assays measuring LDH activity.
• Enzyme Kinetics Studies: Employed to determine kinetic parameters and inhibition constants (Ki) of LDH isoenzymes.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block or intermediate in organic synthesis for producing more complex oxamate derivatives.
• Agricultural Research: Investigated for its potential effects on plant metabolism and as a model compound in pesticide development studies.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Oxamate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, IR for identification, and loss on drying to confirm the absence of excess moisture. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
