Pharmaceutical Chemistry
L-Ornithine Hydrochloride
Formula:
C₅H₁₃ClN₂O₂
GOST/CAS:
CAS 3184-13-2
L-Ornithine Hydrochloride (a high-purity crystalline amino acid) is a crucial component used in the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and nutraceutical. The product is a white or almost white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water. Due to its ability to effectively bind toxic ammonia in the body and stimulate growth hormone synthesis, L-Ornithine is indispensable in the production of hepatoprotectors, medications for treating liver diseases, as well as specialized sports and clinical nutrition complexes.
Applications
Pharmaceutical Industry: Used as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for the production of hepatoprotective medicinal products (infusion solutions, tablets, capsules). It is applied in the complex therapy of hepatic encephalopathy, cirrhosis, and hepatitis.
Production of Dietary Supplements and Nutraceuticals: Included in the formulation of complex supplements for body detoxification, liver health support, and normalization of amino acid metabolism.
Sports and Clinical Nutrition: Used in formulations for athletes to accelerate muscle recovery, stimulate growth hormone production, and reduce fatigue during high physical exertion.
Cosmeceuticals: Utilized in specialized anti-aging products and skin regeneration creams due to its role in collagen synthesis and improvement of cellular metabolism.
Key Advantages
High Hepatoprotective Efficiency: Actively participates in the ornithine urea cycle (Krebs-Henseleit cycle), rapidly reducing ammonia concentration in blood plasma and normalizing the acid-base balance.
Exceptional Purity and Stability: Fully complies with strict international quality standards (EP/USP/BP). It features a high degree of purification, absence of foreign impurities, and remains stable when storage conditions are met.
Bioavailability and Solubility: Excellently soluble in water, ensuring a high absorption rate and maximum efficacy in both oral and infusion forms of finished preparations.
Safety and Hypoallergenicity: It is a naturally occurring amino acid in the body. The product is non-toxic, completely safe for metabolism when dosages are observed, and manufactured in strict compliance with GMP requirements.
