Cosmetic Raw Material of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Methyl Ester Hydrochloride for Whitening Raw Materials (5-ALA) is an endogenous biochemical substance.Basic InformationUnder the action of ALA dehydratase and a series of enzymes, protoporphyrin Ⅸ (PPⅨ) with strong photosensitivity can be formed.
5-ALA is a white or yellowish powder that is hygroscopic, sensitive to light, soluble in water, and very slightly soluble in ethyl acetate and ethanol. It melts between 149 ° C and 160 ° C, the burning residue does not exceed 0.5%, and the heavy metal content does not exceed 20ppm.
Application1. 5-ALA, as a natural Amino acids Powder, has certain biological activity and plays an important role in chemical synthesis and biosynthesis processes. It is widely used in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and heme, and can also be used as a synthetic precursor unit of some anti-tumor drug molecules. In addition, 5-ALA can be used in biochemical studies as a substrate for 5-amino-l-glucate dehydrogena…
