Glycine, N-D-γ-glutamyl-, mono(trifluoroacetate) (9CI)

Description:

Glycine, N-D-γ-glutamyl-, mono(trifluoroacetate) (9CI), with the CAS number 71822-19-0, is a synthetic amino acid derivative that features a glycine backbone modified with a γ-glutamyl group and a trifluoroacetate moiety. This compound is characterized by its polar nature due to the presence of amino and carboxyl functional groups, which contribute to its solubility in polar solvents, such as water. The trifluoroacetate group enhances its stability and may influence its biological activity. Glycine derivatives are often studied for their potential roles in biochemical processes, including neurotransmission and metabolic pathways. The presence of the γ-glutamyl group suggests potential interactions with glutamate receptors, which are crucial in the central nervous system. Additionally, the trifluoroacetate component may impart unique properties, such as altered lipophilicity and reactivity. Overall, this compound is of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research, particularly in the development of neuroactive agents and as a tool for studying amino acid transport and metabolism.
