4-Fluoroglutamic acid

Description:

4-Fluoroglutamic acid is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom at the fourth carbon position of the glutamic acid backbone. This compound is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the carboxylic acid and amino functional groups. It exhibits properties similar to those of glutamic acid, including its role as a neurotransmitter and its involvement in metabolic pathways. The introduction of the fluorine atom can influence its biological activity and interaction with receptors, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. 4-Fluoroglutamic acid can be synthesized through various chemical methods, often involving the substitution of a hydrogen atom with a fluorine atom in the glutamic acid structure. Its unique characteristics make it a valuable compound in studies related to neurochemistry and drug development, particularly in understanding the effects of fluorinated amino acids on biological systems. Safety data should be consulted when handling this compound, as with all chemicals, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

4-Fluoroglutamic Acid

CAS: 2708-77-2

4-Fluoroglutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid that is found in the body. It is used to diagnose radiation exposure and to study the mechanism of excitotoxicity, which is the depletion of glutamine or glutamate from cells by high levels of stimulation. In addition, 4-fluoroglutamic acid has been shown to have anti-cancer properties, inhibiting tumor growth and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. 4-Fluoroglutamic acid binds with fatty acids and can be used as an alternative energy source for cells that are unable to use glucose. The uptake of 4-fluoroglutamic acid into cells depends on the presence of an active transport system.
