3-Amino-1,2-propanediol

Description3-Amino-1,2-propanediol (APD) is a calcium metabolism regulator useful in the treatment of Paget's disease, tumor-induced hypercalcemia and other bone disorders involving increased osteoclastic activity.

Uses3-Amino-1,2-propanediol is used in the preparation of iohexol, which is a X-CT non-ionic contrast medium. It acts as a starting material in the production of specialty materials.

UsesA chiral glycerol derivative, namely 3-amino-1,2-propanediol, was employed for as the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) in the design of a new deep eutectic solvent (DES) with choline chloride acting as the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA). The novel mixture was characterized and unambiguously classified as a DES[4].

General Description3-Amino-1,2-propanediol is a chiral glycerol derivative. It could used as a hydrogen bond donor in the design of a new deep eutectic solvent which have emerged as a suitable alternative to VOCs (volatile organic compounds) for diverse practical applications including, among others, drug delivery, electrochemistry, material design, extractions and, of course, organic reactions, alone or together twith other sustainable reaction-media[1]. It can also used as a core present in antiviral compounds to skeleton to design a novel class of anti-adenovirus agents[2].
