Fmoc-NH-ethyl-SS-propionic acid CAS:864235-83-6 is a compound commonly used in peptide synthesis. The compound contains a Fmoc (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) protective group on the amino terminus, an ethyl group on the alpha-carbon, and a disulfide bond between two propionic acid residues.
The disulfide bond in Fmoc-NH-ethyl-SS-propionic acid can be cleaved under mild reducing conditions, making it useful in the production of peptides that require disulfide bonds for proper folding and biological activity. The Fmoc protective group can be removed using a mild base, exposing the free amine group for further peptide synthesis.
Fmoc-NH-ethyl-SS-propionic acid is a key building block in the synthesis of peptides used in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the development of drugs for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.
