Description

Isovaline, n-Hydroxy- (6Ci,9Ci) is a specialized non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative of significant interest in advanced chemical synthesis and research. Its unique structural features, including the hydroxyl modification on the nitrogen, make it a valuable chiral building block and a precursor for novel compounds. This high-purity intermediate is primarily sought by research institutions and pharmaceutical developers engaged in medicinal chemistry, peptide mimetics, and the study of neurological pathways. We supply this material with a focus on batch-to-batch consistency and reliable documentation to support critical R&D and scale-up processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a key chiral intermediate or precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) targets.
• Medicinal Chemistry: Used as a building block for creating peptide analogs and mimetics to enhance metabolic stability or receptor selectivity.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in studies investigating amino acid transporters, neurotransmitter function, and metabolic pathways due to its structural similarity to endogenous amino acids.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile starting material or intermediate for the preparation of more complex, functionalized organic molecules in process chemistry.
• Reference Standard: Supplied as a high-purity compound for use as an analytical standard in quality control (QC) and method development within pharmaceutical and research laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Isovaline, n-Hydroxy- (6Ci,9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), purity determination by HPLC, and control of specific impurities. We provide full traceability and documentation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results and specifications are available for every shipment to ensure compliance with your research or development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should only be opened in a controlled environment and resealed promptly after use.
