5-Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride (5-ALA HCl) CAS 5451-09-2 | Reliable Exporter for Pharmaceutical Photosensitizer & Biosynthesis Raw Materials

Product Introduction

Many pharmaceutical and biochemical importers often encounter troublesome problems when purchasing 5-ALA HCl: inconsistent color shade between batches, unstable photosensitive activity, inconsistent test data on COA, customs clearance delays due to incomplete documents, or oxidation and moisture absorption after long ocean shipping, which directly affects the stability of your finished formulations.

5-Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride (5-ALA HCl, CAS 5451-09-2) is a high-demand premium fine chemical for global photodynamic pharmacy, biosynthesis and high-end biochemical laboratories. It appears as off-white to pale yellow fine powder, featuring excellent water solubility and controllable activity consistency. As a core intermediate for anti-tumor photosensitizers and a key precursor for biosynthesis of heme and chlorophyll, its market demand in the global pharmaceutical industry has kept rising in recent years.

We specialize in the export of this raw material under strict pharmaceutical-grade quality control standards. Regular stock is available, customized packaging is acceptable, and a full set of export documents can be provided at one time. We have long served buyers across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions worldwide.

Core Commercial Advantages for B2B Buyers

1. Dual-industry Application Value for Mass Production

It covers two high-value sectors: pharmaceutical manufacturing and biosynthesis. It can be used as a dedicated photosensitive intermediate for photodynamic drugs, as well as for metabolic biosynthesis processes, bringing broader customer coverage and higher repurchase potential.

2. Tightly Controlled Photosensitive Indexes for Strict Pharmaceutical Formulas

The activity range is strictly controlled, with heavy metals and impurities fully restricted, meeting strict quality standards for new drug R&D and large-scale pharmaceutical production overseas, avoiding activity fluctuations across different batches.

3. Stable Biological Activity for Continuous Industrial Production

As a natural tetrapyrrole precursor, the deviation of biological activity between batches is extremely small, helping biotech factories cut formula adjustment costs and maintain stable continuous production lines.

4. Optimized Stability for Ocean Transportation

The powder is compact and anti-caking with strong oxidation resistance. Matched with customized sealed packaging, it can maintain original appearance and activity even during long-distance ocean transportation and dramatic temperature changes.

Main Global Application Fields

1. Raw Material for Photodynamic Pharmaceutical Preparations

Supplied to overseas pharmaceutical enterprises for anti-tumor photosensitive drugs and dermatological photodynamic therapeutic agents, serving as a core intermediate for both new drug development and mature mass production.

2. Industrial Biosynthesis

Applied in the large-scale production of heme, plant chlorophyll and other tetrapyrrole bioactive substances for biomanufacturing factories.

3. High-end Laboratory Research Reagents

Provided for universities, biological research institutes and third-party testing institutions globally, as a standard substrate for enzymatic experiments and metabolic mechanism research, with small customized sample sizes available.

4. Advanced Fine Chemical Intermediates

Used in the synthesis of high-activity amino acid derivatives and compound functional biological raw materials for customized fine chemical formula development.
