Description

2,6-Dimethyltyrosine Hcl CAS NO 80110-73-2 is a non-natural, synthetic derivative of the amino acid tyrosine, characterized by the addition of two methyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions of the aromatic ring. This structural modification makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced pharmaceutical research and development. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the synthesis of novel peptides, enzyme inhibitors, and other bioactive compounds where precise steric and electronic properties are critical.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral precursor in the synthesis of complex drug candidates, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and metabolic disorder research.
• Peptide Synthesis: Used to incorporate modified tyrosine residues into custom peptides to study structure-activity relationships (SAR) and enhance stability or receptor binding affinity.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in enzymatic studies and as a probe to investigate tyrosine-related biochemical pathways.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a starting material or auxiliary in the development of asymmetric catalytic processes due to its defined stereochemistry.
• Reference Standard: Used in analytical laboratories as a high-purity standard for method development and quality control in pharmaceutical analysis.
