Product Overview
N-Acetyl-DL-methionine is an acetylated amino acid derivative with the molecular formula C₇H₁₃NO₃S and a molecular weight of 191.25 g/mol. This white to off-white crystalline powder is a valuable building block in nutritional research, peptide synthesis, and pharmaceutical applications. The acetylation of the amino group provides protection during peptide synthesis and can also modulate the biological properties of methionine-containing compounds. The compound is used in studies of amino acid metabolism, as a precursor for the synthesis of bioactive peptides, and in the development of nutritional supplements.
Synthetic Process
N-Acetyl-DL-methionine is synthesized through the following routes:
-
Acetylation of DL-methionine: DL-Methionine is reacted with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride in the presence of a base to selectively acetylate the amino group.
-
Purification: The crude product is purified by recrystallization from water or ethanol.
Mechanism of Action / Application Principles
-
Nutritional Research: Used in studies of methionine metabolism and nutritional biochemistry.
-
Peptide Synthesis: Serves as a building block for the synthesis of methionine-containing peptides.
-
Pharmaceutical Research: Used in the synthesis of bioactive compounds.
