Product Information

• Name: Boc-a-aminoisobutyric acid
• Synonyms: Boc-Aib-OHBoc-a-methylalanine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Boc-a-aminoisobutyric acid is a tetrapeptide pyridinium amine with a helical structure. It is synthesized by the acid conjugate of 2-aminobutyric acid and tetrazole in liquid phase, then converted to its solid form by the addition of BocCl. The synthesis of Boc-a-aminoisobutyric acid is achieved through the use of solid-phase synthesis as well as 2-aminobutyric acid. This drug has been shown to be a potent secretagogue that stimulates gastrin release in vitro and in vivo. It may also have clinical uses for gastrinomas, Zollinger Ellison syndrome, and others. Boc-a-aminoisobutyric acid's ability to stimulate secretion of gastrin is attributed to its intramolecular hydrogen bond with the amide group.
