Description

n-Phenylglycine, also known as (S)-2-amino-2-phenylacetic acid, is a chiral amino acid. It is a key precursor in the synthesis of many pharmaceuticals, including the antibiotic amoxicillin and the antihypertensive drug captopril. The synthesis of n-Phenylglycine often involves enzymatic resolution of racemic phenylglycine, which is commercially available. n-Phenylglycine has been studied for its potential as a building block for novel drugs and its role in various biological processes, including protein synthesis and neurotransmission. Its importance lies in its versatility as a chiral starting material for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals. The enantiomeric purity of n-Phenylglycine is crucial for its efficacy and safety in pharmaceutical applications.'

GlycinegenusA non-essential amino acid. It is found primarily in gelatin and silk fibroin and used therapeutically as a nutrient. It is also a fast inhibitory neurotransmitter.[MeSH]FabaceaeThe large family of plants characterized by pods. Some are edible and some cause LATHYRISM or FAVISM and other forms of poisoning. Other species yield useful materials like gums from ACACIA and various LECTINS like PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS from PHASEOLUS. Many of them harbor NITROGEN FIXATION bacteria on their roots. Many but not all species of beans belong to this family.[MeSH]
