Benzoylaminoacetic Acid

The benzoyl group is a substituent of the tertiary amino group in organic compounds of benzene and its derivatives. This is a crystalline organic substance found in nature in the form of calcium or magnesium salts. First studied in the study of bile, which is a product of the breakdown of adipose tissue, this compound is considered a beta-indole amino acid. It plays an important role in the functioning of the nervous system and blood lipid metabolism.

Due to the chemical properties of benzoyl derivatives, a significant portion of these compounds are potential carcinogens, and special attention has been paid to the benzoyl amino acid compound due to its potential effects on cellular resistance to oxidative stress. The molecule appears as a secondary aldehyde (often called a sulfenic acid) found in C amino acids. It belongs to the class of azoles and sulfonic acids, of which it has an antigenic amino acid group and a benzoyl carbonyl group as a reactive group, with one acetoacetate (-COCH3) attached to the atom carbon 751 phenolic amino group (-NH2).

Benzylaminoacetic acid is chemically designated C8H9NO2. Isocyclic, with terminal amino groups and oxidized benzene (aromatic) groups in the ring. In its structure it has a carbonyl carbon with exo-, endo- and terminal protonation, as well as a hydroxyl group, a methylene group between the terminal amino group and the chromone ring
