Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Aminocaproic Acid
Formula:
C6H13NO2
GOST/CAS:
CAS 60-32-2
Aminocaproic Acid (pharmaceutical grade) is a highly purified synthetic compound that appears as an odorless, white crystalline powder. It exhibits a pronounced hemostatic (blood-coagulating) effect, stabilizing fibrin and inhibiting fibrinolysis. Due to its high purity level that fully complies with pharmacopoeial standards, this product serves as an indispensable raw material for manufacturing finished dosage forms (solutions for infusion, tablets, sprays), as well as specialized cosmetics and personal care products.
Applications
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for the production of hemostatic infusion solutions, tablets, and powders designed to stop and prevent hemorrhages.
Medical Device Production: Applied for impregnating hemostatic sponges, wipes, specialized wound dressings, and surgical sutures with blood-stopping properties.
Cosmeceuticals and Personal Care: Incorporated into therapeutic toothpastes and mouthwashes (to reduce bleeding gums), as well as specialized face creams and serums aimed at treating couperose and strengthening capillary walls.
Laboratory Research and Biotechnology: Used as a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor during protein isolation and purification processes in laboratory practices.
Key Advantages
Pharmaceutical-Grade Quality: High purity level of the active substance (not less than 99.0%), completely free of toxic impurities, and in full compliance with major pharmacopoeia standards.
High Hemostatic Activity: Effectively blocks plasminogen activators and inhibits plasmin action, ensuring a fast and stable blood-coagulating effect.
Excellent Solubility: Highly soluble in water, which significantly simplifies the technological process of preparing liquid dosage forms and solutions.
Safety and Biocompatibility: Low toxicity profile; the product is easily metabolized by the body and does not accumulate in tissues when properly dosed.
Storage & Transportation
- Store in dry, clean, light-protected warehouses in tightly closed original packaging, away from heat sources.
- Recommended storage temperature: between +15°C and +25°C in a dry place.
