Glycine, N-(3,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)-

Description:

Glycine, N-(3,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)-, also known by its CAS number 16533-60-1, is a chemical compound that features a glycine moiety linked to a 3,4-dihydroxybenzoyl group. This compound is characterized by its structural components, which include an amino acid (glycine) and a phenolic derivative, contributing to its potential biological activity. The presence of hydroxyl groups on the benzoyl ring enhances its solubility and reactivity, making it of interest in various biochemical applications. Glycine itself is a non-essential amino acid, known for its role in protein synthesis and as a neurotransmitter. The modification with the 3,4-dihydroxybenzoyl group may impart additional properties, such as antioxidant activity or the ability to interact with specific biological targets. This compound may be studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in fields related to biochemistry and pharmacology, where the interplay between amino acids and phenolic compounds is of significant interest.
