Description

Sodium n-Tetradecanoyl-L-Valinate is a high-purity, amino acid-derived surfactant and biochemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, combining the biocompatibility of L-valine with the surfactant properties of a myristoyl chain, making it an essential component in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring mild, biodegradable surface activity or specific chiral interactions.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizing agent, permeation enhancer, or stabilizer in topical and transdermal drug delivery systems.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Serves as a mild, skin-compatible surfactant or emulsifier in high-end cleansers, creams, and lotions.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a chiral building block or a model compound for studying protein-lipid interactions and membrane biochemistry.
• Specialty Detergents: A key ingredient in formulating gentle, biodegradable detergents for sensitive applications.
• Micelle & Liposome Formation: Utilized in the preparation of nanocarriers for drug delivery and diagnostic applications due to its self-assembling properties.
