Product Information

• Name: L-Serine amide hydrochloride
• Synonyms: L-Ser-NH2·HClL-b-Hydroxyalanine amide hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Serine amide hydrochloride is a synthetic, anti-HIV drug that is used as an antiviral agent. It inhibits the viral life cycle by inhibiting the activity of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates, which are vital to viral DNA synthesis. L-Serine amide hydrochloride binds to the cyclopentane ring of guanosine and prevents its interaction with the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase. This binding prevents the conversion of guanosine into GTP, thereby preventing HIV from using this molecule in their life cycle. L-Serine amide hydrochloride is not active against cellular proteins or prostaglandins.
