Description

Indole-3-Acetic Acid, -α--Propyl- (7Ci) is a synthetic derivative of the essential plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), featuring a propyl substitution on the alpha carbon of the acetic acid side chain. This structural modification is designed to alter its biological activity, stability, and absorption profile, making it a valuable tool for advanced research in plant physiology and synthetic biology. It serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard for scientists and manufacturers in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, enabling the development of novel plant growth regulators and bioactive compounds.

Application

• Agrochemical Research & Development: As a key synthetic analog for studying structure-activity relationships (SAR) of auxin-like plant growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of more complex molecules with potential biological activity for drug discovery programs.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a reference standard and probe in studies investigating auxin signaling pathways, receptor binding, and metabolic fate in plants.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for creating novel indole-based compounds for various high-value industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Indole-3-Acetic Acid, -α--Propyl- (7Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
