S-(Trifluoromethyl)-L-homocysteine, with the CAS number 764-52-3, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethyl group attached to the sulfur atom of the homocysteine structure. This compound is a sulfur-containing amino acid, which is a crucial intermediate in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the metabolism of sulfur-containing compounds. The trifluoromethyl group enhances the lipophilicity and stability of the molecule, potentially influencing its biological activity and interactions. S-(Trifluoromethyl)-L-homocysteine may exhibit unique properties compared to its non-fluorinated counterparts, including altered reactivity and solubility. It is of interest in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry for its potential roles in drug design and as a biochemical probe. As with many amino acid derivatives, it may participate in various physiological processes, including protein synthesis and cellular signaling. However, specific applications and effects would depend on further research and context within biological systems.
