Description

(S)-2-Benzyl-Ala-Ome-Hcl is a high-purity, non-natural amino acid derivative featuring a benzyl-protected side chain and a methyl ester hydrochloride salt. This chiral building block is essential for the synthesis of complex peptides and peptidomimetics, offering precise stereochemical control. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers and fine chemical manufacturers in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), diagnostic agents, and advanced biochemical tools.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and production of peptide-based therapeutics and protease inhibitors.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to introduce a protected alanine derivative with a benzyl group.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in studies of enzyme kinetics, substrate specificity, and molecular recognition.
• Proteomics & Diagnostics: Employed in the design and synthesis of labeled peptides for mass spectrometry, imaging, and diagnostic assays.
• Chemical Biology: A valuable tool for constructing peptide libraries and exploring structure-activity relationships (SAR) in drug discovery.
• Academic Research: Used in university and institutional labs for advanced organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry projects.
