N-acetyl-L-tyrosine (NAT) is commonly used in place of tyrosine in parenteral nutrition, but human studies carried out to date indicate considerable amounts of it are excreted unchanged in the urine. NAT retention has not been well studied in parenterally fed

By the observation of chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization in (15)N NMR spectroscopy it has been shown that nitration of N-acetyltyrosine, even under acidic conditions, is largely a radical process. In the alkaline reaction of tyrosine with peroxynitrite the main

The development of type 2 diabetes in obese individuals is linked to lipid accumulation in non-adipose tissues. A series of N-acetyl-L-tyrosine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for PPAR transactivation. Compounds 4d and 4f were found to show better PPARalpha transactivation
