Description

Dl-Lysine, N6-(Aminoiminomethyl)-, Hydrochloride is a chemically modified derivative of the essential amino acid lysine, characterized by the presence of an amidino group. This modification is significant as it can alter the molecule's biochemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate for research and synthesis in pharmaceutical and biochemical applications. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and life science industries for developing novel compounds, enzyme inhibitors, or as a building block in peptide mimetics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthetic building block for the development of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting enzymatic pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Used in life science research as a substrate analog or inhibitor to study enzyme kinetics and function, especially those involving arginine or lysine metabolism.
• Peptidomimetic Synthesis: Acts as a modified amino acid residue in the design and synthesis of peptidomimetics, which are compounds that mimic peptides but with enhanced stability or bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Development: Employed in the research and synthesis of new active ingredients for crop protection products.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and validation.
