Cytidine 5′-Triphosphate Disodium Salt:
Complete Guide for Biotech, Pharma, and Industrial Bulk Buyers
A premium-grade nucleotide intermediate manufactured via stable bio-enzymatic conversion. Fully compliant with international regulatory and pharmaceutical standards for IVT mRNA manufacturing and neuro-therapeutic drug development.
1. What Is Cytidine 5′-Triphosphate Disodium Salt and Its Core Biochemical Value
Cytidine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt (shortened as CTP disodium or 5′-CTP 2Na) ranks among the four core ribonucleoside triphosphates that support all natural RNA biosynthesis pathways. Its molecular structure combines a cytosine base, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups, stabilized via two sodium ions to form an easy-to-store crystalline powder. Unlike the unstable free CTP acid, the disodium salt form delivers a balanced neutral pH and outstanding water solubility, making it the dominant commercial specification for global biotech laboratories and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Irreplaceable Dual Core Roles in Biological Reactions:
- Substrate for IVT: It acts as a fundamental building block for all RNA polymerases during In Vitro Transcription (IVT).
- Phosphate Donor: It serves as the key donor for phospholipid and glycoconjugate synthesis in cell metabolism.
For bulk purchasing managers and lab R&D directors, understanding grade differences directly determines experimental success rates and finished drug quality. This explains why most qualified buyers prioritize anhydrous CAS 36051-68-0 over hydrate variants for high-standard projects.
⚠️ Buyer Differentiation Note: Many first-time buyers confuse CTP disodium with CMP or CDP derivatives. CMP only carries one phosphate group and cannot support full-length RNA synthesis; CDP lacks sufficient energy supply for phospholipid activation. Only the triphosphate-structured CTP disodium provides the triple phosphate energy chain required for both IVT and cellular membrane repair reactions.
2. Three Main Application Scenarios of High-Purity CTP Disodium Salt
■ 2.1 In Vitro Transcription & mRNA Therapeutic Raw Material Supply
The booming mRNA vaccine and gene therapy industry has created a surging demand for nuclease-free CTP disodium. Molecular biology grade CTP disodium with ≥98% HPLC purity removes DNase, RNase, and residual phosphatase that would break synthetic RNA strands during transcription. Lab teams mix CTP disodium with matching ATP, GTP, and UTP to set up T7 or SP6 polymerase
IVT systems
to produce mRNA, gRNA, and siRNA for CRISPR gene editing, tumor gene treatments, and vaccine research.
Low-quality CTP batches frequently lead to low RNA yields and severe strand degradation. Our factory’s enzyme synthesis process eliminates the protein residues commonly found in chemical synthesis CTP products, cutting RNA degradation risks by over 40%. Small trial packs (100mg to 1g) satisfy university labs, while 25kg bulk drums support large-scale industrial mRNA pilot lines.
■ 2.2 Pharmaceutical Injection Raw Material for Neurological Drugs
Pharmaceutical injection grade CTP disodium complies with strict injectable raw material testing standards, featuring ultra-low bacterial endotoxin and heavy metal limits. As a clinically approved
nucleotide coenzyme,
this compound fuels energy metabolism inside damaged nerve cells, accelerates phospholipid synthesis on nerve membranes, and speeds up recovery after brain trauma, cerebral infarction, and peripheral nerve injuries.
■ 2.3 Industrial Biochemical Fermentation and Lipid Metabolism Research
Industrial fermentation factories select 95% purity CTP disodium as a catalytic substrate for microbial phospholipid and sialic acid derivative production. In academic research labs focused on lipid biology, researchers use CTP disodium to analyze phosphatidylcholine synthesis pathways and purinergic receptor signaling mechanisms for new drug target screening. This grade relaxes endotoxin restrictions to lower bulk costs for large-volume industrial bioreactors.
3. Key Grade Selection Standards for Bulk Buyers
| Core Criterion | Requirements & Selection Logic |
|---|---|
| 1. End-Use Application | Injectable drug production and human cell mRNA experiments require Anhydrous Pharmaceutical Grade (CAS 36051-68-0). Basic academic research and non-sterile fermentation can utilize lab or hydrate technical grades to save budget. |
| 2. Critical Impurity Limits | Nuclease-free testing is non-negotiable for all RNA projects. Endotoxin levels <0.1 EU/mg are mandatory for human cell contact. Avoid low-cost suppliers who skip these crucial validation tests. |
| 3. Storage & Logistics | Pharma manufacturing requires anhydrous powder because the fluctuating water content in hydrate forms alters formula concentration. Cold-chain transport is recommended for cross-border ocean shipping to prevent hydrolysis. |
4. Factory Supply Advantages Benefiting Long-Term B2B Partners

enzyme synthesis production lines,
we deliver three fundamental competitive edges for global B2B procurement teams:
📈 Continuous Stock Capacity

5. Storage & Handling Best Practices to Extend Shelf Life
⚠️ Critical Notice: CTP disodium possesses high hygroscopicity and hydrolyzes rapidly upon moisture absorption.
- Long-Term Storage: Unopened original packages must be kept at -20℃, isolated from light and moisture, ensuring a 36-month shelf life.
- After Opening: Aliquot the powder into small single-use vacuum sub-packs immediately to reduce ambient air exposure. Consume all opened material within 30 days.
- Avoid Thermal Fluctuations: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles break crucial phosphate bonds, turning the active ingredient into degraded CMP and CDP impurities.
- Aqueous Working Solutions: Always prepare solutions fresh immediately before starting IVT setups. For necessary short-term storage, keep at -20℃ and use within 7 days. Always wear disposable nitrile gloves and dust masks during weighing operations.
