3-Methoxy-α-Methyl-L-Tyrosine

CAS: 6739-31-7

3-Methoxy-alpha-Methyl-L-Tyrosine is a compound that has been shown to have an effect on blood pressure. It has been found to inhibit the enzyme uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) and, as a result, it inhibits the conjugation of glucuronic acid with 3-methoxytyrosine. This leads to increased levels of 3-methoxytyrosine in tissues and cells, which may account for its effects on blood pressure. 3-Methoxy-alpha-Methyl-L-Tyrosine has shown inhibition of intestinal acid transporter activity in vitro, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the chloride ion channel. This inhibition of chloride ion channels can also lead to decreased production of hydrogen ions from cell culture media.
