  • Applications

    DL-Valine (CAS 516-06-3) is the racemic form of the essential branched-chain amino acid valine and has broad utility across pharmaceutical, biotechnological and nutritional sectors: in medicine it is a critical ingredient of amino-acid infusion solutions, parenteral nutrition formulas and sports supplements because it supports muscle protein synthesis, tissue repair and nitrogen balance; in microbial and mammalian cell culture DL-Valine supplies a readily assimilated carbon-nitrogen source, buffers pH and modulates growth rate, thereby enhancing yields of recombinant proteins and secondary metabolites; chemical scientists employ DL-Valine as a versatile building block for peptide assembly, for synthesizing enzyme inhibitors, agrochemical intermediates and other bioactive molecules, or as a starting material to resolve enantiopure L/D-valine for asymmetric synthesis; in animal feed it improves weight gain in swine, poultry and aquaculture species, optimizes protein conversion and lowers nitrogen excretion; analytical laboratories exploit its stability, purity and solubility as an internal standard in LC-MS, a calibration substance for amino-acid analyzers and a buffer component in chromatographic mobile phases.
