9-Aminononanoic acid (C9H19NO2) CAS:1120-12-3 is a linear aliphatic α-amino acid featuring a primary amine (-NH2) functional group at the ω-end and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group at the α-position. This unique arrangement of functional groups renders 9-aminononanoic acid a valuable synthetic intermediate for the pharmaceutical industry.
As a bifunctional molecule, 9-aminononanoic acid serves as a versatile building block for constructing complex bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its hydrophobic alkyl chain offers excellent lipophilicity, facilitating passive membrane transport and enhancing bioavailability of the resulting compounds.
In pharmaceutical research and development, 9-aminononanoic acid is widely used for the synthesis of peptidomimetics, enzyme inhibitors, and conjugates for targeted drug delivery. Its incorporation into peptide sequences can enhance cell permeability and metabolic stability while maintaining biological activity.
