N2,N2-Dimethyl-N6-(1-oxododecyl)-L-lysine

Description:

N2,N2-Dimethyl-N6-(1-oxododecyl)-L-lysine, with the CAS number 38079-57-1, is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine. This compound features a dimethyl substitution at the N2 position and a long-chain fatty acid moiety, specifically a 1-oxododecyl group, at the N6 position. The presence of the long hydrophobic chain contributes to its amphiphilic nature, which can influence its solubility and interaction with biological membranes. The compound is likely to exhibit properties typical of lysine derivatives, such as basicity due to the amino groups, and may participate in various biochemical processes, including protein synthesis and cellular signaling. Its unique structure may also confer specific functionalities in drug delivery systems or as a surfactant in biochemical applications. As with many synthetic compounds, its stability, reactivity, and biological activity would depend on environmental conditions and the presence of other chemical species. Further studies would be necessary to fully elucidate its characteristics and potential applications.

CAS: 38079-57-1

N2,N2-Dimethyl-N6-(1-oxododecyl)-L-lysine is a peptide and an inhibitor of ion channels. It was originally isolated from the venom of the Brazilian spider Phoneutria nigriventer. N2,N2-Dimethyl-N6-(1-oxododecyl)-L-lysine binds to voltage gated sodium channels, inhibiting the opening of these channels. This inhibition prevents the propagation of action potentials, and leads to a cessation in neural activity. N2,N2-Dimethyl-N6-(1-oxododecyl)-L-lysine also inhibits potassium channels by binding to the S4 region of these channels. The inhibition of potassium channels leads to hyperpolarization and a decrease in neural activity.
