Introduction
Ethyl D-(-)-pyroglutamate(Ethyl D-(-)-pyroglutamate) is an organic compound with the formula C7H11NO3. It is a white or almost white crystalline solid, soluble in alcohol and ketone solvents, insoluble in water.
Ethyl D-(-)-pyroglutamate has a wide range of applications in the fields of medicine, biological science and chemical research. It is often used as a non-natural amino acid for the synthesis of biologically active molecules and drug development. It is also used as an antioxidant, capable of reducing oxidative stress and damage to cells. In addition, Ethyl D-(-)-pyroglutamate is also used in the breeding industry, which can improve the growth performance and immune function of animals.
The method for preparing Ethyl D-(-)-pyroglutamate usually includes reacting pyroglutamic acid with ethanol, and obtaining the product through esterification. Specifically, pyroglutamic acid can be reacted with ethyl acetate under alkaline conditions and subjected to crystallization and purification to obtain the target product.
Regarding safety information, Ethyl D-(-)-pyroglutamate has no obvious hazards under normal use conditions. However, in handling and use, general laboratory practices should be followed and direct contact with skin and eyes should be avoided. In addition, it should be stored in a sealed container, away from fire and oxidizing agents. In case of accidental inhalation or contact, seek medical attention immediately.
