Description

n-Benzoyl-Dl-Methionine is a chemically modified derivative of the essential amino acid methionine, where a benzoyl group is attached to the amino nitrogen. This modification enhances its stability and alters its physicochemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical sectors for developing novel compounds and active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of more complex drug molecules and peptide analogs.
• Biochemical Research: Used in proteomics and metabolic pathway studies as a modified amino acid substrate.
• Agrochemical Development: Serves as a precursor in the creation of novel pesticides and plant growth regulators.
• Peptide Synthesis: Employed in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis where a protected methionine derivative is required.
• Nutritional Supplement Research: Investigated for its potential use in specialized nutritional formulations and metabolic studies.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Used in the development of certain active ingredients for skincare products.

Quality Control

Our n-Benzoyl-Dl-Methionine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical applications.

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 opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
