DL-(2-Amino-2-carboxyethyl)-homocysteine-3,3,4,4-D4 is a deuterated derivative of homocysteine, an amino acid that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. This compound features a side chain that includes both amino and carboxyl functional groups, which are characteristic of amino acids, allowing it to participate in various biochemical reactions. The presence of deuterium (D) isotopes in the structure indicates that it is used in research applications, particularly in studies involving metabolic pathways and tracer studies due to its unique mass properties. The deuterated form can help in distinguishing it from non-deuterated compounds in analytical techniques such as NMR spectroscopy. This compound is typically utilized in biochemical research and may have implications in understanding homocysteine's role in health and disease, particularly in cardiovascular health and neurological functions. As with many amino acids, it is expected to be soluble in water and exhibit typical amino acid behavior in terms of reactivity and interaction with other biomolecules.
