Description

Muramoyl-Alanylisoglutamine is a synthetic immunomodulatory peptide, also known as muramyl dipeptide (MDP), which serves as the minimal bioactive structure of bacterial peptidoglycan. This compound matters as a potent adjuvant and immune response modifier, critical for research and development in advanced immunotherapies and vaccine formulations. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D teams, immunology researchers, and manufacturers in the biopharmaceutical sector focusing on novel vaccine adjuvants and immune system modulators.

Application

• Vaccine Adjuvant Research: A key component in the development of next-generation vaccine formulations to enhance immunogenicity.
• Immunology Studies: Used as a standard tool to study innate immune responses, particularly NOD2 receptor activation and cytokine production.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a lead compound or reference standard in the discovery of new immunomodulatory drugs.
• Bioconjugation & Drug Delivery Systems: Incorporated into liposomes or nanoparticles to create targeted delivery systems for cancer immunotherapy.
• In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Reagents: Used in the preparation of controls and calibrators for immune-assay kits.
• Animal Health Products: Investigated for use in veterinary vaccines to improve protective immunity.

Quality Control

Our Muramoyl-Alanylisoglutamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation by mass spectrometry and NMR, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatograms and spectral data are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere or with desiccant to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
