Description

L-Glutamic acid 5-benzyl ester is an amino acid that has been synthesized to have a lysine residue. It is an ester hydrochloride and has been shown to have broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. L-glutamic acid 5-benzyl ester's antimicrobial activity is thought to be due to its chemical structure which allows it to act as an antimicrobial peptide, binding to receptors on the surface of bacterial cells and inhibiting their growth. L-glutamic acid 5-benzyl ester also inhibits osteogenic genes in cervical cancer cells, but not in normal cells.
