Description

5-Hydroxyindole-3-Acetic Acid Dicyclohexylammonium Salt is a chemically stabilized derivative of a key serotonin metabolite, designed to enhance handling and shelf-life for research and development applications. This salt form offers improved stability and solubility characteristics compared to the free acid, making it a valuable intermediate and reference standard. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, analytical laboratories, and fine chemical manufacturers involved in neurochemistry, biomarker analysis, and the synthesis of specialized organic compounds.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Critical as a stable reference standard and precursor in serotonin metabolic pathway studies and neurological research.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents targeting neurological and endocrine systems.
• Analytical Chemistry: Used for method development and calibration in HPLC, LC-MS, and other chromatographic techniques for quantifying serotonin metabolites.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of reagents and kits for clinical diagnostics related to carcinoid tumors and other neuroendocrine disorders.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the preparation of more complex indole-derived compounds in organic synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 5-Hydroxyindole-3-Acetic Acid Dicyclohexylammonium Salt is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research and development. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC and NMR to confirm identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
