Product Description
Mechanism of action
Aminobutanol is a small aliphatic amino alcohol used primarily as an intermediate in chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis. Its primary and secondary functional groups allow participation in a variety of condensation, substitution and derivatisation reactions, but it does not have a defined pharmacological target in its own right.
Benefits and advantages
As a versatile building block, aminobutanol is valuable in the preparation of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients, fine chemicals and auxiliaries. Its defined stereochemistry (where applicable), purity and reactivity profile support reproducible, scalable synthetic processes in industrial and research contexts.
Side effects and risks
Occupational exposure may cause irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Depending on dose and route of exposure, systemic toxicity is possible but typically of low order compared with finished active drugs. Standard chemical handling procedures—ventilation, gloves, protective eyewear—are appropriate. Any use in medicinal chemistry must comply with relevant regulatory and safety guidelines.
Professional use only. Supplied exclusively to licensed chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
