Growing Role as Biologically Important Organic Compounds in Drug Development to Drive Growth in the Global D-Amino Acids Market
Rising significance of D-amino acids in pharmaceutical drug development and manufacturing applications is poised to drive the global D-Amino Acids market to reach US$236.4 million by 2024 . Amino acids, the building blocks of human body, occur in two sterioisomeric forms, namely L-amino acids and D-amino acids. L-forms of amino acids are associated with making up proteins in the human body, whereas D-forms of amino acids are very rare. D-amino acids meanwhile are regarded as essential intermediates to produce various chemicals, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and food & feed additives. D-amino acids are found in bacterial proteoglycan cell walls and in several peptide antibiotics and can address specific demands of human body as compared to L-amino acids. Global market for D-amino acids market is witnessing growth supported by the expanding range of applications. The increased R&D focus on developing simple production processes is expected to lead to expanded range of appl...
