16709-25-4 - Introduction
ALPHA-METHYL-L-TRYPTOPHAN is an amino acid with the following properties:
1. Physical properties: ALPHA-METHYL-L-TRYPTOPHAN is a colorless crystalline solid with a melting point of about 230-234 degrees Celsius.
2. Chemical properties: it has optical activity and can turn plane polarized light. Slightly soluble in water, soluble in strong acid and alkali solution. It is also an oxygen ion radical scavenger and has antioxidant properties.
ALPHA-METHYL-L-TRYPTOPHAN are mainly used for the following:
1. Food industry: As a food additive, it can be used as a flavoring agent and antioxidant to extend the shelf life of food.
2. Pharmaceutical field: It is used as a drug synthesis intermediate for the synthesis of some drugs, such as acyclovir and Parkinson's disease treatment drugs.
There are two main methods of making ALPHA-METHYL-L-TRYPTOPHAN:
1. Fermentation method: synthesis by microbial fermentation. First, a suitable strain that can produce ALPHA-METHYL-L-TRYPTOPHAN is selected, and it is cultured in a medium containing suitable nutrients for fermentation reaction, and finally a purified ALPHA-METHYL-L-TRYPTOPHAN is obtained.
2. Synthesis method: It is prepared by chemical synthesis. This process is generally complex and involves a multi-step reaction and purification process.
Regarding safety information, ALPHA-METHYL-L-TRYPTOPHAN are considered to be relatively safe under normal conditions of use. However, like all chemical substances, they should be handled with care and follow appropriate laboratory practices and personal protective measures. Avoid inhaling dust during use, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid swallowing. If accidental exposure or ingestion occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
