Pharmaceutical Chemistry
L-Lysine Hydrochloride
Formula:
C₆H₁₅ClN₂O₂
GOST/CAS:
CAS 657-27-2
L-Lysine Hydrochloride (a highly purified essential amino acid) is a vital structural component acting as a key agent for protein synthesis, metabolic processes, and nitrogen balance regulation within the body. The product is a white crystalline powder with excellent water solubility. Due to its superior bioavailability and high purity, L-Lysine HCl is indispensable in the production of solid and liquid dosage forms, infusion solutions, as well as specialized dietary and sports supplements.
Applications
Pharmaceutical & Infusion Production: Used as a foundational component in formulating comprehensive amino acid solutions for parenteral nutrition, as well as in antiviral, cardioprotective, and immunomodulating drugs.
Pharmaceutical Chemistry: Applied as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for manufacturing tablets, capsules, and syrups designed to regulate metabolism, accelerate tissue repair, and enhance calcium absorption.
Dietary Supplements & Sports Nutrition: Included in specialized supplement formulas to speed up muscle recovery, support cardiovascular health, and stimulate collagen synthesis (critical for skin, ligament, and joint health).
Clinical & Dietetic Nutrition: Administered in recovery therapies following surgeries, severe trauma, or infectious diseases to maintain a positive nitrogen balance in patients.
Key Advantages
Pharmaceutical Purity: Fully complies with strict international standards (EP/USP/BP), guaranteeing the absence of foreign impurities, heavy metals, and ensuring complete microbiological safety.
High Bioavailability: Easily absorbed by the body, rapidly integrated into metabolic pathways, and stimulates the synthesis of endogenous proteins and carnitine.
Stability & Compatibility: Retains its properties across a wide range of technological conditions during drug manufacturing. Blends excellently with other amino acids, vitamins (especially Vitamin C), and excipients.
Therapeutic Efficacy: Proven to effectively block the replication of the Herpes simplex virus, stimulate the production of antibodies and growth hormone, and optimize calcium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
Storage & Transportation
- Store in dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouses in tightly sealed original packaging, away from heat sources.
- Recommended temperature range: +5 C to +25 C. Do not allow liquid solutions to freeze if prepared on-site.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and moisture, as the product possesses slight hygroscopic properties.
- Transportation is permitted by all types of covered transport, provided temperature regulations are maintained. The material is not classified as dangerous goods.
- Shelf Life: 3 years from the date of manufacture (provided the original packaging remains hermetically sealed).
