N-Acetyl-L-carnosine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

In a 500 mL reaction flask, Add anhydrous ethanol 300mL, 80 g of N-acetyl-β-alanine (0.611 mol)86.1 g L-histidine (0.555 mol), 98 g of DMC (0.582 mol), Heating up to 40 , Reaction for 3 hours, Cooling to 5 , Filter, The filter cake was rinsed with 150 mL of anhydrous ethanol, Solid-dried product (IV) 145g, The yield was 97.9percentHPLC purity> 98.8percent.

Uses

N-Acetylcarnosine (NAC) is a naturally occurring compound chemically related to the dipeptide carnosine. The NAC molecular structure is identical to carnosine with the exception that it carries an additional acetyl group. The acetylation makes NAC more resistant to degradation by carnosinase, an enzyme that breaks down carnosine to its constituent amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine.
