Product Information

• Name: (2R)-2-Acetamido-5-(Diaminomethylideneazaniumyl)Pentanoate
• Synonyms: Acetyl-D-arginineN2-Acetyl-D-arginine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (2R)-2-Acetamido-5-(Diaminomethylideneazaniumyl)Pentanoate is an insoluble, acylase inhibitor. It is obtained from the reaction of histidine with acetaldehyde and ammonia in refluxed ethanol. This product has two optical isomers, one being (2R)-2-acetamido-5-(diaminomethylideneazaniumyl)pentanoic acid and the other being (2S)-2-acetamido-5-(diaminomethylideneazaniumyl)pentanoic acid. The former is more active than the latter against acetylesterase. The product also inhibits lysine decarboxylase and d-alanine racemase to a lesser extent. The enzyme activity of this compound can be increased by adding l-amino acid or dl-alanine.
