Description

Caprylohydroxamic Acid Sodium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble hydroxamic acid derivative widely used as a versatile chelating agent and enzyme inhibitor. Its primary value lies in its strong affinity for transition metal ions, particularly iron, making it essential for controlling metal-catalyzed reactions and biological processes. This compound is critical for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial biotechnology sectors seeking effective metal sequestration and urease inhibition.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting metalloenzymes.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a highly effective chelating agent in skincare products to stabilize formulations by sequestering metal ions that can cause rancidity and discoloration.
• Urease Inhibition: Serves as a potent inhibitor of the urease enzyme in agricultural and medical research applications.
• Metal Decontamination & Chelation Therapy: Employed in research for developing treatments for metal overload and in industrial processes for metal ion control.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized as a selective reagent for the spectrophotometric determination and extraction of specific metal ions.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Investigated for use in industrial water treatment and cooling systems to prevent metal corrosion.

Quality Control

Our Caprylohydroxamic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
