Description

n-Hydroxysuccinimide Erucic Acid is a high-purity, activated ester derivative of erucic acid, a monounsaturated ω-9 fatty acid. This compound is a critical reagent for the efficient synthesis of amide bonds, particularly in peptide coupling and bioconjugation chemistry, offering superior reactivity and selectivity. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced materials sectors who require reliable, high-quality building blocks for creating novel compounds and functionalized polymers.

Application

• Bioconjugation Reagent: For coupling fatty acids, peptides, or other carboxylic acids to amines on proteins, antibodies, or nanoparticles.
• Polymer Functionalization: Used to introduce erucic acid moieties into polymer backbones to modify properties like hydrophobicity, flexibility, or biocompatibility.
• Lipid Prodrug Synthesis: A key intermediate in the development of lipid-conjugated prodrugs to enhance drug delivery and bioavailability.
• Surface Modification: For creating self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) or coating materials with specific fatty acid characteristics.
• Cross-linking Agent: In the preparation of hydrogels, biomaterials, or cross-linked polymeric networks.
• Research & Development: Serves as a valuable tool in organic synthesis and chemical biology for studying lipid-protein interactions.

Quality Control

Our n-Hydroxysuccinimide Erucic Acid is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C or as indicated on the label. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under anhydrous conditions to maintain stability and reactivity. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
