(±)-Norvaline

Description:

(±)-Norvaline is an amino acid that is classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation. It is a derivative of valine, featuring an additional carbon atom in its side chain, which gives it unique properties. The compound exists as a racemic mixture, containing both the D- and L- forms, which can exhibit different biological activities. (±)-Norvaline is known for its role in various biochemical processes, including its potential to inhibit arginase, an enzyme that regulates nitric oxide production. This inhibition can have implications for cardiovascular health and muscle metabolism. The substance is typically white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in research and supplementation. Its CAS number, 760-78-1, is used for identification in chemical databases. As with many amino acids, (±)-Norvaline can participate in various chemical reactions, making it of interest in both synthetic and biological chemistry.

DL-Norvaline

CAS: 760-78-1

DL-Norvaline is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that can be synthesized in the laboratory. It has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the polymerase chain reaction and preventing the synthesis of RNA. DL-Norvaline binds to the ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis, which is necessary for bacterial cell division. DL-Norvaline also binds to glutamate and may inhibit energy metabolism. DL-Norvaline is used as an antimicrobial agent against a number of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial activity of DL-norvaline may be due to its ability to bind to hydrophobic regions on bacterial cells.
