Fatty Acid Derivatives

Fatty Acid Derivatives

The most naturally occurring Fatty Acids are unbranched with an even number of carbon atoms such as caproic acid (C6), myristic acid (C14), palmitic acid (C16), or stearic acid (C18). We offer Boc- and Fmoc-protected derivatives as well as variously functionalized fatty acids, e.g. NHS-substituted active esters, azide derivatives for click chemistry and Staudinger ligation, alkyne derivatives for click chemistry, as well as fatty amino acids. Fatty amino acids have raised interest as they improve the pharmacokinetic and pharmacologic properties of peptide APIs and other biopharmaceuticals.
