L-Ornithine, 2-(difluoromethyl)-

Description:

L-Ornithine, 2-(difluoromethyl)-, with the CAS number 66640-93-5, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a difluoromethyl group attached to the ornithine backbone. This compound is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation but may play roles in metabolic pathways. The difluoromethyl group can influence the compound's reactivity and biological activity, potentially affecting its interactions with enzymes and receptors. L-Ornithine itself is involved in the urea cycle, which is crucial for nitrogen metabolism in organisms. The presence of fluorine atoms often enhances the lipophilicity and metabolic stability of organic compounds, which can be advantageous in pharmaceutical applications. However, specific biological activities, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics of L-Ornithine, 2-(difluoromethyl)- would require further investigation through experimental studies. Overall, this compound represents a unique modification of a naturally occurring amino acid, with potential implications in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.
