CAS 23783-23-5

(Heptanoylamino)acetic acid

Description:

(Heptanoylamino)acetic acid, also known by its CAS number 23783-23-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amine and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound features a heptanoyl group, which is a seven-carbon fatty acid chain, linked to an amino group and an acetic acid moiety. The structure imparts amphiphilic properties, making it potentially useful in various applications, including as a surfactant or emulsifier in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The presence of the heptanoyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, while the carboxylic acid group provides hydrophilicity. This dual nature allows for interactions with both polar and nonpolar substances. Additionally, (Heptanoylamino)acetic acid may exhibit biological activity, which could be relevant in medicinal chemistry. Its solubility in water and organic solvents can vary, depending on the pH and the presence of other solutes. Overall, this compound's unique structure and properties make it a subject of interest in both research and industrial applications.

N-Heptanoylglycine

CAS: 23783-23-5

N-Heptanoylglycine is an organic molecule that belongs to the family of fatty acids. It is a natural product, which can be found in various human tissues and body fluids. N-heptanoylglycine has been detected in the blood and urine of patients with metabolic disorders, such as fatty acid oxidation disorder (FAOD) and mitochondrial dysfunction. It has also been identified as a potential biomarker for infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis (TB). The detection sensitivity of N-heptanoylglycine has been shown to be higher than that of other biomarkers currently used in diagnostic tests for TB.
