N-Acetyl-S-(3-hydroxypropyl-1-methyl)-L-cysteine

Description:

N-Acetyl-S-(3-hydroxypropyl-1-methyl)-L-cysteine, with the CAS number 100496-03-5, is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, characterized by the presence of an acetyl group and a hydroxypropyl side chain. This compound exhibits properties typical of thiols due to the presence of the sulfhydryl (-SH) group, which contributes to its reactivity and potential antioxidant capabilities. The acetylation enhances its solubility and stability compared to unmodified cysteine. It is often studied for its potential biological activities, including its role in cellular processes and as a precursor for the synthesis of other biologically relevant molecules. The hydroxypropyl group may influence its interaction with biological systems, potentially affecting its pharmacokinetics and bioavailability. Overall, this compound is of interest in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the context of oxidative stress and related disorders.
