Amino-acids - Import export

5-ALA is an active pharmaceutical ingredient and is produced under cGMP. Values are: * Competitive process * European manufacturer * Registered and approved in EU and US 5-Aminolevulinic acid is an amino acid that belongs to ketocarbonic acids. It is increasingly converted into a red fluorescent molecule in tumor cells. This accumulates in tumor cells about 4 times more than in healthy cells. The substance is a photosensitizer, it can form oxygen radicals with light energy. These radicals destroy the cell, which is why 5-aminoleivulinic acid is used, for example, in skin carcinomas caused by UV radiation.

3-amino-4-methyl-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid methyl ester belongs to the group of thiophenes. The intermediate is used in the pharmaceutical industry. It is an intermediate for Articaine.

Trifluoroacetic acid is a fluoro-organic compound with an interesting list of uses in manufacturing of pharmaceutical active ingredients, crop protection agents, in peptide and in polymer chemistry. Typical applications are: •CF3 building block •Polymerization catalyst •(Trans-)Esterification promoter •Amino acid protection group cleavage (e.g. DIBOC) •Non-aqueous solvent •Hydration of olefins
