Description

Aminolevulinic Acid Phosphate is a phosphate salt derivative of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a key biochemical precursor in the heme biosynthesis pathway. This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and solubility profile compared to the free acid form, making it a critical intermediate in advanced pharmaceutical and biochemical research. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers and research institutions in the life sciences sector for the development of photodynamic therapy agents, diagnostic tools, and as a biochemical standard.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material (KSM) or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the synthesis of photodynamic therapy (PDT) drugs for dermatology and oncology.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a precursor in studies of porphyrin metabolism, heme biosynthesis, and cellular energy production pathways.
• Diagnostic Agent Development: Employed in the formulation of prodrugs for fluorescence-guided surgery and cancer detection.
• Agrochemical Research: Investigated for its role as a biodegradable herbicide or plant growth regulator based on its disruption of chlorophyll synthesis.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Incorporated into advanced skincare formulations targeting photodynamic acne treatments.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in research for developing PDT treatments for animal cancers.

Quality Control

Our Aminolevulinic Acid Phosphate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and stringent control of residual solvents and heavy metals. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or cGMP-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. For long-term storage, consider inert atmosphere packing.
