Description

Lipid X CAS NO 86559-73-1 is a synthetic lipid intermediate of significant importance in advanced biochemical research and pharmaceutical development. This compound serves as a critical precursor in the biosynthesis and study of complex bacterial membrane components, particularly lipopolysaccharides (LPS). It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of vaccine adjuvants, immunology, and glycobiology, where precise control over lipid structures is required to modulate immune responses and study host-pathogen interactions.

Application

• Biochemical Research: A key precursor for studying the biosynthesis and structure of bacterial endotoxins and lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
• Vaccine Adjuvant Development: Used in research to synthesize and evaluate novel lipid A analogs with tailored immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive properties.
• Immunology Studies: Employed to investigate Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathways and innate immune system activation.
• Glycobiology: Serves as a building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of complex glycolipids.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a critical synthetic intermediate for potential therapeutic agents targeting septic shock and inflammatory diseases.
• Reference Standards: Supplied as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in lipid analysis.

Quality Control

Our Lipid X is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP guidelines where applicable, and our analytical methods, including HPLC and mass spectrometry, are validated to provide reliable data for our global clientele.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. For long-term storage, desiccate to maintain stability. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
