N-Stearoyl-L-cysteine (CAS 67603-46-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H41NO3SHCl and a molecular weight of 424.08 g/mol.
The molecular framework of N-Stearoyl-L-cysteine (C21H41NO3SHCl) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
