Aminoacids and derivatives

<p>Applications N-Acetyl-L-Tryptophan, is a derivative of L-Tryptophan (T947210), that can be used as competitive inhibitor to identify and characterize tryptophanases. It can also be used as an NK1 tachykinin receptor antagonist, that may help to develop a novel therapeutic intervention for the treatment of reperfusion injury in acute ischemic stroke.<br>References Turner, R. J., et al.: Neuroscience, 220, 1 (2012);<br></p>

<p>Applications Glycine-15N,d2, is the labeled analogue of Glycine (G615990), a non-essential amino acid for human development. Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in spinal cord, allosteric regulator of NMDA receptors.<br>References Scott, D. et al.: J.

<p>Stability Hygroscopic<br>Applications Oleoyl-L-carnitine is a long-chain fatty ester of carnitine which is accumulated and released into the circulation, in fatty-acid oxidation defects. Pattern of Oleoyl-L-carnitine can be diagnostic for a number of ß-oxidation defects.<br>References Adams, S., et al.: J.

<p>Applications N-Methyl Lacosamide is derived from (R)-2-Amino-N-benzyl-3-methoxypropionamide (A598000), which is an impurity of Lacosamide which is a potent anticonvulsant.<br>References Letiran, A., et al.: J.

<p>Stability Hygroscopic<br>Applications L-Carnitine-d3 Chloride is the isotope labelled analog of L-Carnitine (C184110); a vitamin (enzyme cofactor). It is an essential cofactor of fatty acid metabolism and is required for the transport of fatty acids through the inner mitochondrial membrane. Synthetized primarily in the liver and kidney with the highest concentrations found in heart and skeletal muscle. Dietary sources include red meat, dairy products, beans, avocado.<br>References Mitchell, M.E., et al.: Am. J. Clin. Nutr., 31, 293 (1978); Lango, R., et al.: Cardiovasc.
