N-Benzenesulphonyl β-Alanine as a Masking Agent for Hg(II)

Caffeine–N-phthaloyl-β-alanine (1/1)

The title co-crystal [systematic name: 3-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (1/1)], C(8)H(10)N(4)O(2)·C(11)H(9)NO(4), is the combination of 1:1 adduct of N-phthaloyl-β-alanine with caffeine. The phthalimide and purine rings in the N-phthaloyl-β-alanine and caffeine mol-ecules are essentially planar, with r.m.s. deviations of the fitted atoms of 0...

β-Alanine and orotate as supplements for cardiac protection

Correspondence to Dr James J DiNicolantonio; [email protected] CARNOSINE: ACID BUFFER, ANTIOXIDANT AND AID TO MUSCLE CONTRACTION β-Alanine is a rate-limiting precursor for synthesis of the dipeptide carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine), which is produced within and stored in high concentrations in skeletal muscle, heart and olfactory receptor neurons. 2 β-Alanine supplementation has been shown to...

Interaction of alanine with lithium. I- the alanine–Li -n (H20) n (0–2) complexes

The energy minima of systems made of an alanine molecule, a lithium cation and a various number of watermolecules have been determined with the help of quantum mechanical computations at the B3LYP DensityFunctional Theory level of computation and the standard 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. Several structures, close inenergy are found and the presence of one or two water molecules around the cation m...
