About D-Tryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride

D-Tryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride (CAS Number: 14907-27-8) is an ester with applications in prodrug design and protecting-group chemistry with defined stereochemistry. ChemContract Research supplies this moderate-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States. Supplied as the hydrochloride salt form for enhanced stability and handling.

Ester hydrolysis by cellular esterases is the most commonly exploited prodrug activation mechanism — enabling drugs that cannot cross biological membranes as free acids. Hydrochloride is the most common salt form for basic drug substances — approximately half of all salt-form drugs on the market are HCl salts, valued for their crystallinity and aqueous solubility. Chirality matters profoundly in drug action — enantiomers can differ by orders of magnitude in potency, and FDA guidelines increasingly require single-enantiomer development.

Primary applications include prodrug development to mask carboxylic acids and improve membrane permeability and improved handling characteristics versus the free base form. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, polymer, fine chemical sectors. Whether you require D-Tryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.
