Description

L-Alanine, n-(Hydroxyacetyl)- (9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of the amino acid L-alanine, featuring a hydroxyacetyl group on the nitrogen atom. This specific functionalization makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors for applications in drug discovery, peptide synthesis, and the development of specialized biochemical reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in peptide-based therapeutics.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used as a protected or modified amino acid derivative in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to introduce specific properties or functionalities.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or precursor in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile intermediate for the preparation of complex organic molecules, including natural product analogs and specialty chemicals.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Development: Potential use in the synthesis of conditioning agents or bioactive peptides for advanced skincare formulations.

Quality Control

Our L-Alanine, n-(Hydroxyacetyl)- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles. Specifications can be tailored to meet the requirements of research and cGMP manufacturing standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
