Description

L-Glutamic Acid,n-(1-Oxotetradecyl)-(9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of the amino acid glutamic acid, featuring a long-chain myristoyl (tetradecanoyl) group. This structural modification imparts unique amphiphilic properties, making it a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of specialized surfactants, emulsifiers, and bioactive conjugates. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the life sciences, specialty chemical synthesis, and personal care sectors seeking to develop novel compounds with tailored functionalities.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a key intermediate or building block for synthesizing peptide analogs, lipidated amino acids, and other bioactive molecules for pharmacological studies.
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating novel amino acid-based surfactants and emulsifiers with potential applications in cosmetics and personal care formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of prodrugs or drug delivery systems where a lipophilic glutamic acid derivative is required.
• Material Science: Potential component in the development of functional polymers or surface-modifying agents due to its amphiphilic nature.
• Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and verification.
