Description

D-Ornithine, 2-Methyl- (9Ci) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative of ornithine, characterized by a methyl substitution at the α-carbon. This specific stereoisomer is a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial R&D departments focused on developing novel bioactive compounds, peptide mimetics, and specialized biochemical tools.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly for metabolic and neurological targets.
• Peptide Chemistry: Used in the synthesis of modified peptides and peptidomimetics to study structure-activity relationships and enhance metabolic stability.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a substrate or inhibitor analog in enzymatic studies, especially those involving ornithine decarboxylase and related polyamine biosynthesis pathways.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in chromatography (HPLC, GC) for method development and quality control in related chemical processes.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Utilized as a starting material or auxiliary in stereoselective synthesis to construct complex molecules with defined chirality.
