Description

H-Lys(Me)-Oh Hcl is a chemically modified derivative of the essential amino acid L-lysine, specifically methylated at the side chain. This modification is crucial for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of specialized peptides and peptidomimetics. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers and fine chemical manufacturers developing novel therapeutic agents and biochemical tools.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical raw material in the synthesis of peptide-based drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Peptide Synthesis: Used in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to introduce a methylated lysine residue, which can modulate peptide stability, activity, and receptor binding.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in proteomics and epigenetics research, particularly in studies involving post-translational modifications.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of complex organic molecules, chiral auxiliaries, and custom synthesis projects for the life sciences industry.
• Agrochemical Development: Potential use in the research and development of novel, bioactive compounds for crop protection.
