(S)-β-Hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone (S-HBL) is a versatile chiral building block with applications in pharmaceutical synthesis, the production of biodegradable polymers, and organic chemistry research.
It's primary use is as a chiral intermediate for creating complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceuticals like cholesterol-reducing drugs (statins), antibiotics, and nutritional supplements such as L-carnitine.
In Pharmaceutical applications:Chiral building block S-HBL is a key intermediate in synthesizing chiral drugs, including statins (like Crestor and Lipitor), the antibiotic Zyvox, and the antihy-perlipidemic medication Zetia.
-Neurological and metabolic drugs: it is used in the synthesis of drugs for neurological disorders and metabolic applications.
In Nutritional supplements: It is used to produce the nutritional supplement L-carnitine.
In Other applications: Biodegradable polymers: S-HBL is used in creating biodegradable polymers for applications like medical devices and packaging.
In Organic synthesis: it serves as a versatile building block in organic chemistry for constructing more complex molecules.
In Cosmetic formulations: It is incorporated into some cosmetic products for its moisturizing properties.
For Flavor and fragrance: It can be used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages.
This product is for research use only, is not to be used for therapeutic; not intended for animal or human or diagnostic or therapeutic use , and cannot be sold to patients.
Special for chemical transport (according to IATA / ADR / ECHA-REACH rules / int.l laws) .
According to U.S./E.U. Pharmacopoeia, Echa-Reach, UNI EN ISO 14001, G.M.P., MSDS, etc...
