Description

n-Oleoyl Alanine is a high-purity, synthetic amino acid derivative where the oleoyl fatty acid chain is conjugated to alanine. This compound is valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties, making it a versatile intermediate in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for developing high-performance ingredients.

Application

• As a key surfactant or emulsifier in high-end skincare and cosmetic formulations.
• As a building block for synthesizing more complex peptide-lipid conjugates in pharmaceutical research.
• In the development of mild cleansing agents for sensitive skin products.
• As a stabilizing agent in lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., liposomes, nanoemulsions).
• For research into biomimetic membranes and surface chemistry studies.
• As a potential corrosion inhibitor intermediate in specialty industrial applications.
