L-BMAA hydrochloride (CAS 16012-55-8)
QUICK LINKS
L-BMAA hydrochloride, the hydrochloride salt form of beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA), is a non-proteinogenic amino acid of significant interest in neurobiological research. This compound is studied for its potential role in neurological systems, particularly due to its association with certain neurodegenerative conditions. In environmental studies, L-BMAA hydrochloride is examined for its production by cyanobacteria and subsequent biomagnification in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Researchers are involved in investigating the mechanisms by which L-BMAA may affect neural cells, including its influence on glutamate receptors and potential to induce misincorporation of amino acids during protein synthesis. This line of research is critical for understanding the environmental factors that may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, L-BMAA hydrochloride is utilized in analytical studies to develop detection and quantification methods, which are for monitoring environmental exposure and understanding the epidemiology of associated conditions.
