The journey from identifying a biological target to developing a successful drug is complex and resource-intensive. Central to this process is the strategic use of pharmaceutical intermediates, which are crucial chemical compounds that form the building blocks of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. plays a vital role in this ecosystem by supplying high-quality intermediates, including specialized amino acid derivatives such as Z-Tyr(Bzl)-OH (N-alpha-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-tyrosine).

Z-Tyr(Bzl)-OH, identified by its CAS number 16677-29-5, is a protected form of tyrosine, a naturally occurring amino acid. Its significance in drug discovery stems from its utility in peptide-based drug development and as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of small molecule therapeutics. The protective groups—Benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) on the amine and Benzyl (Bzl) on the hydroxyl—allow chemists to selectively carry out reactions on other parts of a molecule or a growing peptide chain without unintended modifications to the tyrosine residue. These protecting groups are later removed under specific conditions to reveal the active functional groups, enabling the final stages of drug synthesis.

In the context of peptide therapeutics, Z-Tyr(Bzl)-OH is invaluable. Peptide drugs offer unique advantages, such as high specificity and potency, but their synthesis requires precise control. The use of protected amino acids like Z-Tyr(Bzl)-OH ensures that peptide chains are assembled correctly, leading to the production of high-purity peptide APIs. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing these critical pharmaceutical intermediates with exceptional purity (typically >98% by HPLC), which is essential for meeting the rigorous standards of the pharmaceutical industry. This ensures that drug candidates derived from these intermediates have consistent properties and predictable pharmacological activity.

Furthermore, Z-Tyr(Bzl)-OH can serve as a versatile chiral building block in the synthesis of non-peptide small molecule drugs. Its stereochemistry and functional groups can be manipulated to construct complex molecular scaffolds that target specific biological pathways. The availability of reliable suppliers for such intermediates is critical for maintaining a robust drug discovery pipeline. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides competitive pricing and flexible quantities, supporting both early-stage research and scale-up operations necessary for preclinical and clinical development.

By supplying high-quality Z-Tyr(Bzl)-OH and other essential chemical intermediates, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. actively supports the drug discovery process. Our dedication to quality and reliability ensures that pharmaceutical companies and research institutions have the necessary tools to develop innovative therapies that can improve patient outcomes.
