L-Glutamic Acid 5-Methyl Ester (CAS 1499-55-4) is a high-purity biochemical compound with the molecular formula C6H11NO4 and a molecular weight of 161.16 g/mol. This white crystalline powder is synthesized under strict quality control, ensuring a purity level of ≥98% (HPLC). It is stored in airtight containers at 2-8°C to maintain stability.
L-Glutamic Acid 5-Methyl Ester is widely used in:
Store in a cool, dry environment. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and goggles during handling.
Soluble in water (up to 50 mg/mL) and polar organic solvents like methanol or DMSO. For optimal results in enzymatic assays, prepare a 10 mM stock solution in PBS buffer (pH 7.4).
A leading biotech company utilized L-Glutamic Acid 5-Methyl Ester (0.5 mmol) as a key intermediate in the synthesis of novel NMDA receptor modulators. The reaction achieved 92% yield under mild acidic conditions (pH 5.0, 37°C).
Researchers observed 80% inhibition of glutaminase activity when using 100 µM concentration of the compound in cell-free assays, demonstrating its potential as a metabolic pathway modulator.
