5-Aminolevulinic Acid Phosphate (5-ALA Phosphate) is the phosphate salt form of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), also known as delta-aminolevulinic acid. Chemically, it is represented as a 1:1 combination of 5-aminolevulinic acid and phosphoric acid. The compound is recognized in chemical and regulatory databases under the name aminolevulinic acid phosphate and is identified by CAS No. 868074-65-1. Its molecular formula is C₅H₁₂NO₇P, with a molecular weight of approximately 229.13 g/mol.
MEDIOCON INC supplies 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Phosphate as a high-quality specialty raw material for qualified commercial, research and formulation applications. Commercial specifications describe the material as a white to off-white or almost-white powder, with typical specifications including assay NLT 98.0%, loss on drying NMT 1.0%, residue on ignition NMT 0.3%, and heavy metals NMT 20 ppm. These values should be confirmed against the specific batch Certificate of Analysis supplied for the material.
5-Aminolevulinic acid is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid and an important biological precursor involved in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis. 5-ALA participates in pathways associated with the formation of compounds such as heme and chlorophyll. The phosphate form provides a defined salt form of the parent compound and is commercially available as a specialty ingredient for different technical applications.
For quality-conscious procurement, identification, assay, moisture, residue on ignition, elemental impurities and microbiological parameters are important considerations when evaluating 5-ALA Phosphate. A commercial specification from a supplier reports HPLC identification, assay NLT 98.0%, loss on drying NMT 1.0%, residue on ignition NMT 0.3%, heavy metals NMT 20 ppm, and negative E. coli, providing a useful reference framework for raw-material quality assessment.
MEDIOCON INC can provide 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Phosphate for commercial requirements subject to the applicable grade and approved specification. Customers can request the relevant Certificate of Analysis (COA), Specification Sheet, Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and other available quality documentation. Final specifications, intended application and regulatory suitability should always be confirmed against the actual supplied batch and destination-market requirements.
A commercial specification reports assay ≥98%, loss on drying ≤1.0%, residue on ignition ≤0.3% and heavy metals ≤20 ppm. Another supplier describes the material as white powder with NLT98% specification.
These should be treated as reference commercial specifications, not automatically as MEDIOCON's final release specification. The actual MEDIOCON COA should control the values displayed for a supplied batch.
