N-Formyl-L-leucine

Description:

N-Formyl-L-leucine is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a formyl group (-CHO) attached to the nitrogen of the leucine side chain. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, reflecting its polar functional groups. This compound is often used in biochemical research and synthesis, particularly in the study of peptide synthesis and protein modification. N-Formyl-L-leucine can participate in various chemical reactions, including acylation and amidation, due to its reactive functional groups. Its structure includes a branched aliphatic side chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, while the formyl group introduces a polar aspect, allowing for diverse interactions in biological systems. As a derivative of leucine, it retains some of the properties of this essential amino acid, which plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and metabolism. Safety data should be consulted before handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

N-Formyl-L-leucine

CAS: 6113-61-7

N-Formyl-L-leucine, also known as N-formyl-L-leucine amide, is an amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of formic acid. It is a diastereomer of L-leucine and has been shown to activate metabotropic glutamate receptors, which are involved in the regulation of pain and inflammation. N-Formyl-L-leucine has also been shown to be an endocannabinoid that binds to cannabinoid receptors. This amino acid may be synthesized from glutamate by the enzymes glutamate formyltransferase or formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase. The functional groups on this molecule include a formyl group and a fatty acid group, which are attached at carbons 1 and 2 respectively. Formylation of leucine occurs through the addition of a methylene group to the alpha carbon atom with concomitant elimination of water. A synthase gene for this molecule
