Overview

N-acetyl-L-tyrosine is an N-acetyltyrosine in which the chiral centre has L configuration. It has a role as a biomarker, an EC 2.1.1.4 (acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase) inhibitor and a human urinary metabolite. It is a N-acetyltyrosine and a N-acyl-L-tyrosine. It is a conjugate acid of a N-acetyl-L-tyrosinate.

Pharmacology

PharmacodynamicsN-acetyltyrosine is used as a high solubility precursor to [DB00135] used due to [DB00135]'s poor solubility. It is deacetylated to form [DB00135].
Mechanism of ActionUsed as a source of [DB00135]. See [DB00135] for more information on its role and pharmacology.
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion · 1 item

N-acetyltyrosine is eliminated in the urine. The extent of urinary elimination versus utilization in the tissues appears to be related to the rapidity of infusion. When infused slowly in standard doses as in the clinical setting, about 35% is excreted unchanged in the urine. When larger doses are infused rapidly, much higher amounts are excreted reaching values up to 56%. In rat studies it was found that of the drug eliminated in the urine about 74% is present as unchanged N-acetyltyrosine and 23% is present as tyrosine.
