O-Methyltyrosine

Description:

O-Methyltyrosine, also known as 3-methoxytyrosine, is an aromatic amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methoxy group attached to the phenolic hydroxyl of tyrosine. Its chemical formula is C10H13NO3, and it features a molecular structure that includes a benzene ring, an amino group, and a carboxylic acid group, typical of amino acids. This compound is often studied for its role in biochemical pathways, particularly in the context of neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism. O-Methyltyrosine is known to act as an inhibitor of certain enzymes, such as tyrosine hydroxylase, which is crucial in the biosynthesis of catecholamines. It has potential applications in research related to cancer and neurobiology, as it may influence the levels of neurotransmitters and other biologically active compounds. Additionally, O-Methyltyrosine is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various laboratory applications. Its CAS number, 7635-29-2, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
