Description

N-myristoylglycine (MyrGly) is a fatty acid amide that is a component of the myristoylated protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) enzyme, which catalyzes the attachment of myristate to proteins. MyrGly is a potent inhibitor of NMT and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. The compound is also a substrate for the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), which is responsible for the breakdown of fatty acid amides. MyrGly has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, cancer, and other conditions. It is synthesized by the reaction of myristoyl chloride with glycine in the presence of a base. The synthesis and biological activity of MyrGly have been investigated in several studies, and it has been shown to be a promising drug candidate for various diseases.'
