In 2024, global Z-L-Valine NCA production reached approximately 19 MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 2676 per kg.
Z-L-Valine NCA is a protected amino acid derivative widely used as a monomer for controlled ring-opening polymerization (ROP) in polypeptide synthesis. Structurally, it is the N-carboxyanhydride of N-benzyloxycarbonyl (Z)-protected L-valine. The “Z” group serves as a temporary protecting group for the amino functionality, allowing selective polymerization at the carboxyanhydride site. This compound is highly reactive toward nucleophiles such as amines, making it a preferred intermediate for preparing well-defined polypeptides, block copolymers, and functional biomaterials.
Due to its reactivity and susceptibility to hydrolysis, Z-L-Valine NCA requires strict moisture-free handling, inert gas packaging, and cold storage. It is typically sold as a white to off-white crystalline powder in sealed containers ranging from gram-scale laboratory vials to multi-kilogram industrial lots. Its CAS number, purity specification, and COA (Certificate of Analysis) are essential quality benchmarks for buyers, particularly in regulated sectors such as pharmaceuticals.
The market can be defined as a niche segment within the broader peptide-synthesis and specialty monomer industry, serving research organizations, custom synthesis companies, polymer/material science developers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The Z-L-Valine NCA market is expected to grow alongside several converging scientific and industrial trends:
Expansion of Peptide-Based Therapeutics – As biologics and peptide drugs gain traction, there is increasing interest in novel delivery carriers and conjugates that extend half-life or enhance targeting. Polypeptides from NCAs are attractive due to their biodegradability and structural precision.
Growth in Biomedical Materials – Hydrogels, coatings, and scaffolds based on synthetic polypeptides are being explored for wound healing, implant coatings, and regenerative medicine. This pushes demand for monomers like Z-L-Valine NCA in both academic and commercial R&D.
Advances in Controlled Polymerization Techniques – Improved initiator systems and polymerization conditions are enabling better molecular weight control and block-copolymer architectures, which in turn require high-purity NCAs with minimal side products.
