Description

Alanine, n-Ethyl- (9Ci) is a modified amino acid derivative where an ethyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom of the alanine backbone. This structural modification makes it a valuable non-proteinogenic building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is particularly sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the life sciences sector for developing novel compounds, including peptide mimetics and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Peptidomimetics Research: Used to synthesize modified peptides with enhanced stability, bioavailability, or specific biological activity.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a specialized building block in studying enzyme mechanisms and protein structure-function relationships.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: An intermediate in the production of advanced, chiral agrochemicals such as herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the synthesis of complex organic molecules for various high-value industrial applications.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Used in the development of specialized, bioactive ingredients for skincare formulations.
