Description

n-Acetyl-Dl-Glutamic Acid is a chemically modified derivative of glutamic acid, where an acetyl group is attached to the amino functionality. This modification enhances its stability and alters its biochemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and biochemical research. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from peptide synthesis to the development of novel bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex drug molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a building block or precursor in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway investigations.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Employed in the formulation of skin-conditioning agents and moisturizers due to its amino acid derivative properties.
• Peptide Synthesis: Acts as a protected glutamic acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide chemistry.
• Food & Nutrition Research: Investigated for potential use in flavor enhancers or as a specialty nutrient component.
• Agrochemical Development: Utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain herbicides or plant growth regulators.

Quality Control

Our n-Acetyl-Dl-Glutamic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles. While typically supplied as a technical or research grade, production can be aligned with specific customer requirements, including higher purity standards for pharmaceutical development.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and handling properties.
