Bachem ID: 4011104.

Applications L-Glutamic acid 1-methyl ester is a protected form of L-Glutamic acid (G596960). L-Glutamic acid is a nonessential amino acid that is important to the mammalian central nervous system. L-Glutamic acid is also a neurotransmitter for cone photoreceptors in the human brain and is used as a treatment for patients who have liver disease accompanied by encephalopathy (a condition termed ‘hepatic coma’).

H-glu-OMe is a fatty acid that belongs to the group of amino acids. It has been reported as an intermediate in the chemical ligation of carboxylates with amines. H-glu-OMe has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on serine proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, which are enzymes that break down proteins in the human body. The effects of this compound on insulin levels in diabetes patients have also been studied. H-glu-OMe is not active against acid-fast bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium avium complex, but it does show an inhibitory effect on congestive heart failure when combined with L-arginine.
