CAS 4309-82-4

N-Formylmethionine

Description:

N-Formylmethionine, with the CAS number 4309-82-4, is a derivative of the amino acid methionine, characterized by the presence of a formyl group (-CHO) attached to the nitrogen atom of the amino group. This compound is notable for its role in biological systems, particularly as a precursor in the synthesis of proteins in certain organisms. It is often involved in the initiation of protein synthesis in prokaryotes, where it serves as the first amino acid incorporated into nascent polypeptide chains. N-Formylmethionine is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents. Its molecular structure includes a sulfur atom, which is characteristic of methionine, contributing to its unique properties. The compound is also of interest in research related to peptide synthesis and the study of translation mechanisms. Due to its biological significance, N-Formylmethionine is often used in biochemical studies and applications involving protein engineering and synthesis.

For-DL-Met-OH

CAS: 4309-82-4

For-DL-Met-OH is a colony-stimulating factor that belongs to the group of pharmacokinetic properties. It has been shown to have an effect on white blood cell production in patients with radiation therapy, and is also effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is an important pathogen in chronic lung disease. For-DL-Met-OH has been found to be effective when administered intravenously and orally in this indication. The compound acts by binding to the target tissue cyclic peptide receptor and acylation reaction with the antibiotic. It has been found that For-DL-Met-OH can be synthesized using a neutral pH process and polypeptide synthesis.
