Description

Ornithine, N2-Benzoyl-2-Methyl- is a chemically modified derivative of the amino acid ornithine, featuring a benzoyl protecting group on the N2-nitrogen and a methyl group on the α-carbon. This specific molecular architecture makes it a valuable protected intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors for the development of novel peptides, enzyme inhibitors, and other bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block in the synthesis of complex drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Peptide Synthesis: Used in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to incorporate modified ornithine residues into peptide chains.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research.
• Protecting Group Chemistry: The benzoyl group provides a stable protective function for the amine during multi-step synthetic sequences.
• Chemical Reference Standard: Acts as a high-purity standard for analytical method development and quality control in chemical production.

Quality Control

Our Ornithine, N2-Benzoyl-2-Methyl- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral integrity, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
