Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-alaninol
DescriptionL-alaninol is a member of the amino alcohol class, specifically characterized as 2-amino-1-propanol. Its chemical structure features a primary amine and a hydroxyl group attached to a three-carbon backbone, which allows it to participate in various biochemical pathways. Notably, L-alaninol serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of important compounds such as the fluorochinolone antibiotic levofloxacin and the chloroacetanilide herbicide metolachlor (PMID:37987374 ). Additionally, L-alaninol and its derivatives exhibit intriguing biological and pharmacological properties, indicating potential applications in biomedical fields (PMID:40557724 ). Research has demonstrated the synthesis and characterization of long-chain O-acyl-L-alaninols, revealing their capability for drug encapsulation and release through catanionic liposomes (PMID:40557724 ). Furthermore, studies on the crystal structures of O-palmitoyl-L-alaninol and O-heptadecanoyl-L-alaninol have shown unique bilayer arrangements, highlighting their structural versatility (PMID:40557724 ). The interaction of N-acyl-L-alaninols with phospholipids has also been explored, suggesting their role in cell membrane dynamics (PMID:26827903 ). Overall, L-alaninol's chemical properties and its involvement in metabolic pathways underscore its significance in both chemistry and biology.
