3-Hydroxy-α-methyl-L-tyrosine methyl ester

Description:

3-Hydroxy-α-methyl-L-tyrosine methyl ester, with the CAS number 18181-08-3, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of amino acids and their derivatives. It is a methyl ester of 3-hydroxy-α-methyl-L-tyrosine, which is a modified form of the amino acid tyrosine. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methyl ester functional group, contributing to its solubility and reactivity. It is typically used in biochemical research and may serve as a precursor in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals or as a tool in studying metabolic pathways involving tyrosine derivatives. The presence of the hydroxyl group can influence its interactions with biological systems, potentially affecting its biological activity. As with many amino acid derivatives, it may exhibit properties such as chirality, which can impact its behavior in biological contexts. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
