O-Methyl-D-tyrosine

Description:

O-Methyl-D-tyrosine, also known as 3-methoxy-D-tyrosine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the ortho position of the phenolic hydroxyl group of D-tyrosine. This modification alters its solubility and reactivity compared to its parent compound. O-Methyl-D-tyrosine is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols. It is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism, as it can act as an inhibitor of tyrosine hydroxylase, an enzyme critical in the biosynthesis of catecholamines. The compound's structural features contribute to its biological activity, making it a valuable tool in pharmacological studies. Additionally, it is important to handle this substance with care, following appropriate safety protocols, as with any chemical compound used in laboratory settings.
