L-Phenylalanine,N-[[(4-methoxyphenyl)azo]carbonyl]-, monopotassium salt (9CI)

Description:

L-Phenylalanine, N-[[(4-methoxyphenyl)azo]carbonyl]-, monopotassium salt (CAS 396717-86-5) is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of amino acids, specifically a derivative of phenylalanine. This compound features an azo group, which is characterized by the presence of a nitrogen-nitrogen double bond (–N=N–), linking the phenylalanine moiety to a 4-methoxyphenyl group. The presence of the carbonyl group indicates that it has a functional group that can participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic attacks. The monopotassium salt form suggests that the compound is neutralized with potassium, which can enhance its solubility in aqueous solutions. This compound may exhibit biological activity due to its amino acid structure, potentially influencing protein synthesis or acting as a precursor for neurotransmitters. Additionally, the azo linkage may impart color properties, making it useful in dye applications. Overall, this compound's unique structure combines features of both amino acids and azo dyes, leading to diverse potential applications in biochemistry and materials science.

N-(4-Methoxyphenylazoformyl)-Phe-OH·potassium salt

CAS: 396717-86-5

N-(4-Methoxyphenylazoformyl)-Phe-OH·potassium salt (MAF) is a small molecule drug that has been shown to be useful for the diagnosis of skin cancer. MAF binds to the tyrosinase enzyme, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of melanin, and is also able to inhibit blood pressure by activating potassium channels. MAF has also been shown to cause a decrease in blood pressure in patients with pre-existing hypertension. This drug may have anti-cancer properties due to its ability to inhibit tumor growth and reduce symptoms associated with cancer. It also has contraceptive effects on women because it can bind to the progesterone receptor thereby preventing fertilization from occurring.
