Description

22-[3-(4-Hydroxy-3-Methoxyphenyl)Propenoyloxy]Docosanoic Acid Methyl Ester is a specialized long-chain fatty acid ester derivative of ferulic acid, designed for advanced material science and pharmaceutical applications. This high-purity compound is valued for its unique molecular architecture, which combines the antioxidant properties of a phenolic moiety with the lipophilic character of a C22 fatty acid chain. It serves as a critical intermediate or functional additive for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty polymer industries seeking to enhance product stability and bioactivity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel prodrugs or lipophilic drug conjugates to improve bioavailability and targeted delivery.
• Antioxidant Agent: Incorporated into cosmetic and personal care formulations (e.g., anti-aging serums, stabilizers) for its radical-scavenging properties derived from the ferulic acid moiety.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a functional monomer or plasticizer additive in specialty polymers to impart UV stability and antioxidant characteristics to the final material.
• Nutraceutical Research: Employed in the development of advanced dietary supplements and functional food ingredients requiring enhanced lipid solubility.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in studies focusing on lipid metabolism, membrane biochemistry, and oxidative stress.
• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Potential use as a high-performance, biodegradable additive in synthetic lubricants to improve oxidative stability.

Quality Control

Our 22-[3-(4-Hydroxy-3-Methoxyphenyl)Propenoyloxy]Docosanoic Acid Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant frameworks for research and industrial use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
