Description

DL-4-Hydroxyphenylglycine is an active analogue of the natural amino acid L-glycine, which is a precursor in the biosynthesis of sulfamides. DL-4-Hydroxyphenylglycine has been shown to be active as an anti-infective agent against many bacteria and fungi that are resistant to other sulfa drugs. It is synthesized by reacting sodium carbonate and ammonia with the amide of 4-hydroxybenzeneacetic acid. The cyclic peptide is then hydrolyzed to form free DL-4-hydroxyphenylglycine. This drug has also been shown to have a strong inhibitory effect on fatty acid metabolism in liver cells, which may be due to its ability to bind to fatty acids and reduce their uptake by cells.
