Description

Serine, n-(Carboxymethyl)- (9Ci) is a chemically modified derivative of the amino acid serine, featuring a carboxymethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom. This functionalization imparts unique chelating and metal-binding properties, making it a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of specialized chelating agents, pharmaceutical compounds, and biochemical research reagents. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing novel compounds and formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring chelating or metal-binding functionalities.
• Chelating Agent Synthesis: Used as a precursor for manufacturing advanced chelating agents and sequestrants for industrial and laboratory applications.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in proteomics and enzymology studies as a modified amino acid to investigate protein structure, function, and metal ion interactions.
• Agrochemical Development: Acts as an intermediate in the production of specialized herbicides, pesticides, or plant growth regulators with enhanced activity.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Utilized in the development of advanced skincare actives, such as metal-chelating antioxidants or peptide derivatives.
• Chemical Biology Probe: Functions as a tagged or modified amino acid for creating probes to study biological processes and pathways.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for research and industrial use. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are available upon request. We adhere to strict internal quality management protocols to guarantee the reliability and traceability of every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
