Description

1-o-Benzoyl C2 Ceramide is a synthetic, chemically modified ceramide derivative where the primary hydroxyl group is esterified with benzoic acid. This specific modification enhances its stability and functional properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced research and development. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and life science industries for studying lipid metabolism, skin barrier function, and as a precursor for synthesizing more complex bioactive lipids.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: As a key intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis of novel sphingolipid-based therapeutics targeting metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
• Cosmetic Science: Used in R&D for formulating advanced skincare products aimed at restoring the skin's lipid barrier and improving moisture retention.
• Biochemical Studies: Serves as a crucial tool compound for investigating ceramide signaling, cell membrane biology, and apoptosis mechanisms in laboratory settings.
• Analytical Standard: Employed as a high-purity standard for qualitative and quantitative analysis (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) in quality control and metabolic profiling.
• Lipidomics: A valuable component in lipid libraries for mass spectrometry-based identification and characterization of complex biological samples.
• Precursor Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the chemical synthesis of longer-chain or fluorescently tagged ceramide analogs for specialized research applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 1-o-Benzoyl C2 Ceramide is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and structural integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided to guarantee consistent quality and reliable performance for your critical research and development needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
