glutamic acid derivative

Thalidomide (Thalomid) is a synthetic derivative of glutamic acid (alpha-phthalimido-glutarimide) with teratogenic, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties.

L-Pyroglutamic acid (pidolic acid), a cyclized derivative of the L-GLUTAMIC ACID, can elevate blood levels. This function may be associated with problems of GLUTATHIONE or GLUTAMINE metabolism.

L-Allylglycine is an amino acid derivative that reduces glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity by 60% when administered at a dose of 39.8 μmol/g per hour ex vivo in mouse brain preparations. L-Allylglycine (1.2 mmol/kg, i.p.) induces convulsions and decreases GABA concentration throughout the cerebellum, pons, medulla, striatum, cortex, and hippocampus in mice. Chronic administration (3.2 μg/0.5 μl per hour for 13 days) of L-allylglycine in rats increases locomotor activity in an open field test and impairs attention in the 5-choice serial reaction time task (5CSRTT). In vitro, L-allylglycine inhibits GAD only when used at high concentrations (1-80 mM). The more potent in vivo activity can be attributed to metabolic conversion of L-allylglycine to 2-keto-4-pentanoic acid, a more potent convulsant and GAD inhibitor.

(R)-5-Oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (D-Pyroglutamic acid) is a cyclic derivative of glutamic acid, physiologically present in mammalian tissues. It releases GABA from the cerebral cortex and exhibits anti-anxiety effects in a simple approach-avoidance conflict situation in rats. In clinical pharmacology experiments, it significantly shortens the plasma half-life of ethanol during acute intoxication.

H-Glu(OEt)-OEt.HCl (Diethyl L-glutamate hydrochloride) is a glutamic acid derivative.

Fmoc-L-glutamic acid 5-tert-butyl ester (Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH) is a glutamic acid derivative.

Boc-Glu(OBzl)-OH (Boc-Glu(OBzl)-OH) is a glutamic acid derivative.

Dimethyl DL-glutamate is a cell-permeant glutamic acid derivative that enhances insulin release in response to glucose in isolated islets and in animal models of diabetes.

Glutamyl-glutamic acid (Glu-glu) is an Interpeptide Bridge in the Murein of Some Micrococci and Arthrobacter sp..

L-Pyroglutamic acid β-naphthylamide (PYR) is a derivative of glutamic acid.

L-Pyroglutamic acid (Standard) is the standard substance of L-Pyroglutamic acid, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. L-Pyroglutamic acid (pidolic acid), a cyclized derivative of the L-GLUTAMIC ACID, can elevate blood levels. This function may be associated with problems of GLUTATHIONE or GLUTAMINE metabolism.

Boc-Glu(OtBu)-OH is a derivative of glutamic acid, featuring two protective groups: Boc- and OTBu.

L-γ-Glutamyl-p-nitroanilide Monohydrate is a derivative of glutamic acid.
