Description

N-(1H-Indol-2-Ylcarbonyl)-β-Alanine is a specialized organic compound featuring a hybrid molecular structure that combines indole and β-alanine moieties. This unique architecture makes it a valuable intermediate or building block for advanced chemical synthesis, particularly in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and biochemical research tools. It is primarily sought by pharmaceutical R&D teams, contract research organizations (CROs), and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in peptide-mimetic and heterocyclic chemistry.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting neurological or metabolic pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a precursor or reference standard in proteomics and enzyme inhibition studies.
• Peptidomimetic Development: Serves as a core structure for designing compounds that mimic peptide function with enhanced stability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Potential intermediate in the development of new generation plant growth regulators or fungicides.
• Material Science: Investigated for incorporation into specialty polymers or organic electronic materials due to its conjugated indole system.

Quality Control

Our N-(1H-Indol-2-Ylcarbonyl)-β-Alanine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
