Usage

Description

L-Tyrosine hydrochloride, the salt form of L-Tyrosine, is one of the 22 proteinogenic amino acids that are utilized by cells to synthesize proteins. It is a polar, non-essential amino acid with a phenolic functionality, which plays a crucial role in cell signaling and is a precursor to various neurotransmitters and hormones. L-Tyrosine is biologically converted from L-phenylalanine and is further converted into L-DOPA, which is then transformed into neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
L-Tyrosine hydrochloride is used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient for the treatment of various conditions related to neurotransmitter deficiencies. It is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from stress, fatigue, or cognitive decline, as it helps in the synthesis of neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
Used in Nutritional Supplements:
L-Tyrosine hydrochloride is used as a dietary supplement to support cognitive function, stress response, and overall mental well-being. It is especially popular among athletes and individuals undergoing high-stress situations, as it can help improve focus, alertness, and mental clarity.
Used in Food and Beverage Industry:
L-Tyrosine hydrochloride is used as a flavor enhancer and additive in the food and beverage industry. Its role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters can contribute to the overall taste and sensory experience of certain products.
Used in Cosmetics Industry:
L-Tyrosine hydrochloride is used in the cosmetics industry for its skin-lightening properties. It can help reduce the appearance of age spots, hyperpigmentation, and other skin discolorations by inhibiting the production of melanin.
Used in Research and Development:
L-Tyrosine hydrochloride is used as a research compound in the development of new drugs and therapies targeting neurotransmitter-related disorders, as well as in the study of cell signaling and protein synthesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid found in mammal, fish and birds. It participates in protein modification, such as phosphorylation, nitrosation and sulfation. It is involved in immune response regulation and prevents the generation of inflammatory cytokines and superoxide. Tyrosine serves as a precursor for epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, thyroid hormones and melanin biosynthesis. Tyrosine phosphorylation is associated with a number of cellular processes such as cell proliferation and migration, development of the embryo, cellular metabolism and transcription. Tyrosine phosphorylation also aids activation of the enzymatic function of a protein.

LAT1 activity of carboxylic acid bioisosteres: Evaluation of hydroxamic acids as substrates

Large neutral amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) is a solute carrier protein located primarily in the blood–brain barrier (BBB) that offers the potential to deliver drugs to the brain. It is also up-regulated in cancer cells, as part of a tumor's increased metabolic demands. Previously, amino acid prodrugs have been shown to be transported by LAT1. Carboxylic acid bioisosteres may afford prodrugs with an altered physicochemical and pharmacokinetic profile than those derived from natural amino acids, allowing for higher brain or tumor levels of drug and/or lower toxicity. The effect of replacing phenylalanine's carboxylic acid with a tetrazole, acylsulfonamide and hydroxamic acid (HA) bioisostere was examined. Compounds were tested for their ability to be LAT1 substrates using both cis-inhibition and trans-stimulation cell assays. As HA-Phe demonstrated weak substrate activity, its structure–activity relationship (SAR) was further explored by synthesis and testing of HA derivatives of other LAT1 amino acid substrates (i.e., Tyr, Leu, Ile, and Met). The potential for a false positive in the trans-stimulation assay caused by parent amino acid was evaluated by conducting compound stability experiments for both HA-Leu and the corresponding methyl ester derivative. We concluded that HA's are transported by LAT1. In addition, our results lend support to a recent account that amino acid esters are LAT1 substrates, and that hydrogen bonding may be as important as charge for interaction with the transporter binding site.

Tumescenamide C, an antimicrobial cyclic lipodepsipeptide from Streptomyces sp.

Tumescenamide C, a new cyclic lipodepsipeptide, was isolated from a culture broth of an actinomycete Streptomyces sp. KUSC-F05. Tumescenamide C was a congener of tumescenamides A and B, representing a sixteen-membered ring system, consisting of two proteinogenic and three non-proteinogenic amino acids, to which a methyl-branched fatty acid was attached. The planar structure was determined by spectroscopic analysis, while its absolute stereochemistry was determined by chemical degradation and asymmetric synthesis. Tumescenamide C exhibited antimicrobial activity with high selectivity against Streptomyces species.
