CAS 1116-13-8
:N-lauroyl-L-aspartic acid
Description:
N-lauroyl-L-aspartic acid, with the CAS number 1116-13-8, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a lauroyl group (a fatty acid chain derived from lauric acid) attached to the amino acid aspartic acid. This compound is typically a white to off-white powder and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water can vary depending on pH. It exhibits amphiphilic properties due to the hydrophobic lauroyl chain and the hydrophilic aspartic acid moiety, making it useful in various applications, including as a surfactant and emulsifier in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The presence of the carboxylic acid groups allows for potential interactions with other molecules, influencing its behavior in biological systems. Additionally, N-lauroyl-L-aspartic acid can participate in peptide bond formation, making it relevant in peptide synthesis and drug delivery systems. Its unique structure and properties make it a subject of interest in both research and industrial applications.
