Eglin C fragment 60-63 methyl ester, associated with the CAS number 131696-94-1, is a synthetic derivative of the Eglin C protein, which is a potent inhibitor of serine proteases. This compound is characterized by its specific amino acid sequence, which contributes to its biological activity. The methyl ester modification enhances its solubility and stability, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. Eglin C itself is derived from the saliva of the leech Hirudo medicinalis and exhibits significant anti-inflammatory properties. The fragment 60-63 specifically refers to a portion of the Eglin C protein that retains its inhibitory function. In terms of physical properties, it is typically a white to off-white solid, soluble in organic solvents, and may exhibit specific optical activity due to its chiral centers. Its applications are primarily in research settings, particularly in studies involving protease inhibition and related therapeutic areas. As with many peptides and their derivatives, careful handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain stability and activity.
