CAS 16859-51-1
:L-Phenylalanine, N-(1-oxopentyl)-
Description:
L-Phenylalanine, N-(1-oxopentyl)-, identified by CAS number 16859-51-1, is an amino acid derivative that features a phenylalanine backbone with a pentanoyl group attached to the nitrogen atom. This compound exhibits characteristics typical of amino acids, including the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH), which contribute to its ability to participate in peptide bond formation. The pentanoyl modification introduces a hydrophobic aliphatic chain, which can influence the compound's solubility and interaction with biological systems. L-Phenylalanine itself is essential for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. The presence of the oxopentyl group may also impart unique biochemical properties, potentially affecting its metabolic pathways and biological activity. Overall, this compound is of interest in both biochemical research and potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the context of amino acid metabolism and neurochemistry.
