3,5-Diiodo-L-tyrosine ethyl ester hydrochloride

Description:

3,5-Diiodo-L-tyrosine ethyl ester hydrochloride is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid tyrosine, characterized by the presence of two iodine atoms at the 3 and 5 positions of the aromatic ring. This compound is typically used in biochemical research and pharmaceutical applications due to its potential role in studying thyroid hormone activity and metabolism, as iodine is a critical component of thyroid hormones. The ethyl ester form enhances its lipophilicity, potentially improving its bioavailability and facilitating cellular uptake. As a hydrochloride salt, it is more soluble in water, which is advantageous for various laboratory applications. The compound may exhibit biological activity, including effects on thyroid function, and can serve as a precursor for further chemical modifications. Its stability, solubility, and reactivity are influenced by the presence of the iodine substituents and the ester functional group. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, particularly those that may have biological effects.
