Description

Ornithine, 4-Fluoro- (9Ci) is a fluorinated derivative of the amino acid ornithine, characterized by the strategic substitution of a fluorine atom at the 4-position. This modification is of significant interest in medicinal chemistry and biochemical research, as it can alter metabolic pathways, enhance stability, and serve as a key building block for novel compounds. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, agrochemical scientists, and advanced material researchers for developing new active ingredients and probing biological mechanisms.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly protease inhibitors and other targeted therapeutics.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a stable, fluorinated analog in metabolic pathway studies, enzyme inhibition assays, and tracer development.
• Agrochemical Development: Serves as a precursor in the design of new herbicides and plant growth regulators with enhanced properties.
• Peptide Synthesis: Incorporated into custom peptides to study the effects of fluorination on peptide structure, stability, and biological activity.
• Proteomics & Metabolomics: Acts as a standard or probe in advanced mass spectrometry-based analysis for identifying and quantifying biological molecules.
• Material Science: Potential use in the development of specialized fluorinated polymers and advanced organic materials.

Quality Control

Every batch of Ornithine, 4-Fluoro- (9Ci) is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, detailing key parameters such as assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
