  • Applications

    L-Ornithine hydrochloride (CAS 3184-13-2) is a stable, highly water-soluble salt of the amino acid ornithine that finds broad utility in pharmaceuticals and nutrition because it enters the urea cycle to convert excess ammonia into urea, thereby lowering nitrogen toxicity and supporting liver function; clinically it is co-formulated with L-arginine or L-aspartate to aid patients with hyperammonemia, cirrhosis or hepatic encephalopathy and is incorporated into oral or parenteral preparations to boost glutathione synthesis and detoxification; in sports nutrition it contributes to reduced muscle fatigue, faster recovery, growth-hormone release and enhanced protein synthesis; additionally it is employed in cell-culture media, peptide manufacturing, anti-aging cosmetics, hepatoprotective dietary supplements and as a versatile intermediate for novel drug derivatives.
