:N-Acetyl-DL-norvaline
Description:
N-Acetyl-DL-norvaline is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an acetyl group attached to the nitrogen of the amino group of norvaline, which is a branched-chain amino acid. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and exhibits a slightly sweet taste. The substance is often used in biochemical research and as a potential supplement in various applications, including muscle metabolism and protein synthesis. N-Acetyl-DL-norvaline is known to act as an inhibitor of arginase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to urea and ornithine, thereby potentially influencing nitric oxide production and vascular function. Its chemical structure includes both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, which can affect its interaction with biological systems. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is important to handle N-Acetyl-DL-norvaline with care, following appropriate safety guidelines, as its effects can vary based on dosage and individual biological responses.
