Description

N2-(1-Oxodecyl)-L-Lysine is a chemically modified amino acid derivative where a decanoyl group is attached to the ε-amino group of L-lysine. This specific functionalization is critical for applications requiring lipophilic amino acid conjugates, enhancing bioavailability and membrane permeability. It serves as a valuable building block and intermediate for researchers and manufacturers in advanced pharmaceutical development, peptide synthesis, and biochemical research.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel peptide-based therapeutics and prodrugs.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Used to introduce lipophilic chains into peptides, proteins, or other biomolecules for research and diagnostic applications.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly those involving lysine-modifying enzymes.
• Cosmetic Peptide Synthesis: An intermediate in the production of advanced anti-aging and skin-repair peptide actives.
• Nutraceutical Development: Potential use in designing novel amino acid supplements with modified absorption profiles.
• Material Science: A monomer or modifier for creating functionalized polymers with specific biological activities.

Quality Control

Our N2-(1-Oxodecyl)-L-Lysine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
