N-alpha-Z-hydrazide is a cyclic peptide that is active against bacterial infections, including infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. It has been shown to be effective against mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis. The compound is also used as an experimental model for studying the effects of drugs on biological systems. N-alpha-Z-hydrazide binds to the Mcl-1 protein in a coordinated geometry that prevents its interaction with other proteins. This binding leads to cell death by preventing the release of cytochrome C from mitochondria and reducing mitochondrial membrane potential. N-alpha-Z-hydrazide has demonstrated antiinflammatory activity in mice which may be due to its inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.

Benzyl carbazate is used as a reagent for preparation of benzyloxycarbonyl (Z, Cbz) hydrazides of carboxylic acids, particularly N-protected amino acids. Subsequent hydrogenolysis gives the hydrazide which can be converted to the azide for coupling with a further amino acid residue by the azide method. It is also used in the preparation of simple acyl or sulfonyl hydrazides avoiding diacylation. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
