β-(N-Methylamino)-L-alanine

Description:
β-(N-Methylamino)-L-alanine, commonly referred to as BMAA, is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that has garnered attention due to its potential neurotoxic effects. It is characterized by the presence of a methylamino group attached to the beta carbon of the alanine structure, which distinguishes it from standard amino acids. BMAA is soluble in water and exhibits a zwitterionic form at physiological pH, allowing it to interact with biological systems. This compound has been studied for its association with neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in relation to its potential role in the development of conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease. BMAA is produced by certain cyanobacteria and can accumulate in aquatic food chains, raising concerns about its environmental and health impacts. Its chemical structure and properties make it a subject of ongoing research, particularly in the fields of neurobiology and environmental toxicology. Understanding its mechanisms of action and effects on human health remains a critical area of investigation.

    3-(N-Methylamino)-L-alanine

    CAS:

    3-(N-Methylamino)-L-alanine is an experimental drug that belongs to the group of glutamate receptor antagonists. It is structurally similar to other glutamate antagonists such as 3-aminopropylglycine, but it has a lower potency and a longer half-life. 3-(N-Methylamino)-L-alanine has been shown to have locomotor activity in experimental animals and can be used for the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain. In addition, this compound has been shown to induce neuronal death in cultured cells at high concentrations and cause toxicity in rats after chronic oral administration.
