2-Amino-3-methylhexanoic acid

CAS: 60182-96-9

2-Amino-3-methylhexanoic acid is a synthetic amino acid analog of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. It was originally developed as a treatment for thrombosis, but has been found to have antiviral properties. 2-Amino-3-methylhexanoic acid inhibits the action of enzymes that catalyze reactions in the synthesis of polypeptides, such as proteases (thrombin inhibitors) and peptidases. 2-Amino-3-methylhexanoic acid also inhibits viruses by preventing their replication. It does this by hydrogen bonding interactions with the viral capsid and preventing access to the RNA genome or protein coat. The chemical reaction between 2-amino hexanoic acid and an acid solution produces carbon dioxide gas.
