(3R)-3-amino-4-(trimethylammonio)butanoate

Description:

(3R)-3-amino-4-(trimethylammonio)butanoate, also known as a quaternary ammonium compound, is characterized by its positively charged nitrogen atom, which is bonded to three methyl groups and a butanoate moiety. This compound is an amino acid derivative, specifically a chiral molecule due to the presence of a stereocenter at the 3-position. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as being soluble in water and having the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to its amino and carboxyl functional groups. The trimethylammonio group contributes to its quaternary nature, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents and potentially influencing its biological activity. This compound may play a role in various biochemical processes, including acting as a neurotransmitter or a precursor in metabolic pathways. Its structural features suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly in drug design and development, where its charged nature could facilitate interactions with biological targets.

(R)-Amino carnitine

CAS: 98063-21-9

(R)-Amino carnitine is a pancreatic enzyme that is used as an experimental treatment for fatty liver disease. It has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids, which are the main components of triglycerides. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to a decrease in the production of triglycerides and their accumulation in the liver, thereby reducing hepatic steatosis. (R)-Amino carnitine also has an inhibitory effect on protein synthesis, which is important for the conversion of amino acids into proteins essential for cell division and growth. This mechanism may explain its beneficial effects on insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes.
