Description

n-Cyclohexyl Aspartic Acid is a specialized amino acid derivative where the aspartic acid moiety is modified with a cyclohexyl group. This structural modification imparts unique steric and lipophilic properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced synthesis. It is primarily sought by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors for applications in peptide mimetics, chiral synthesis, and as a building block for novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of peptide-based drugs and enzyme inhibitors.
• Chiral Auxiliary/Resolution Agent: Utilized in asymmetric synthesis to induce chirality in target molecules.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Serves as a spacer or linker molecule in the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and other bioconjugates.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new chemical entities and biological pathways.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Intermediate for producing specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Cosmetic Peptide Synthesis: Potential ingredient in the synthesis of bioactive peptides for advanced skincare formulations.

Quality Control

Our n-Cyclohexyl Aspartic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting identity, purity, and specific test results.

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 degradation from atmospheric moisture.
