Glycine, N-(2-phenylethyl)-, methyl ester

Description:

Glycine, N-(2-phenylethyl)-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 156080-95-4, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of amino acid derivatives. It features a glycine backbone, which is the simplest amino acid, modified by the addition of a 2-phenylethyl group and a methyl ester functional group. This compound is characterized by its relatively low molecular weight and the presence of both hydrophilic (the amino and carboxyl groups) and hydrophobic (the phenyl group) regions, which can influence its solubility and interaction with biological systems. Glycine derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, as they can exhibit various biological activities, including neuroprotective effects and modulation of neurotransmitter systems. The methyl ester form may enhance lipophilicity, potentially affecting its absorption and distribution in biological contexts. Overall, this compound's unique structure allows for diverse applications in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry.
