Suberic acid is used in drug synthesis and in the production of plastics. It is also used in the preparation of reduction-sensitive micelles, which affects their cellular uptake. Further, it is used in the delivery of anticancer drugs. In addition, it is used in the fluorescent detection of amidinium-carboxylate and amidinium formation.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
