Pharmaceutical Chemistry
L-Alanine
Formula:
NH2-СH(СН3)-СООН
GOST/CAS:
CAS 56-41-7
L-Alanine (highly purified amino acid, pharmaceutical grade) is an endogenous amino acid that serves as a key component for protein synthesis, metabolic processes, and the manufacturing of medicinal products. The product is a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water. Due to its exceptional purity and biocompatibility, L-Alanine is indispensable in the production of infusion solutions, parenteral nutrition, dietary supplements, as well as specialized pharmaceuticals for regulating carbohydrate metabolism and supporting the nervous system.
Applications
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used as an active substance or excipient in the formulation of complex amino acid solutions for infusions and parenteral nutrition. It is included in medications designed to alleviate menopausal symptoms, support myocardial metabolism, and enhance cognitive functions.
Sports Medicine & Dietary Supplements: Applied in the formulations of specialized and sports nutrition, amino acid complexes, and dietary supplements. It promotes rapid carnosine production, increases skeletal muscle endurance, and accelerates recovery after high-intensity physical exertion.
Food Industry (Dietary Nutrition): Incorporated into specialized dietary products to regulate blood sugar levels and optimize energy metabolism. It is also utilized as a safe flavor enhancer and nutritional component.
Cosmeceuticals & Personal Care: Used in the production of premium medicinal cosmetics, skincare, and haircare products. It acts as an effective moisturizing and conditioning agent, improving the barrier functions of the epidermis.
Key Advantages
Pharmaceutical Purity (99%+): Complies with stringent international quality standards (USP/EP/BP), completely free from foreign impurities, heavy metals, and pyrogens.
High Bioavailability: Easily absorbed by the body, instantly entering the glucose-alanine metabolic cycle to ensure rapid energy delivery to muscle and brain tissues.
Stability in Solutions: Dissolves excellently in water, maintaining the stability of its physiochemical properties across a wide range of therapeutic concentrations and sterilization temperatures.
Safety & Hypoallergenicity: A fully biocompatible product of natural origin. Non-toxic at working dosages, causing no side effects when pharmacopeia standards are followed.
