S-(-)-ureidoglycolate
Definition
S-(-)-ureidoglycolate, also known as (S)-ureidoglycolic acid or (2s)-(carbamoylamino)(hydroxy)acetate, is a member of the class of compounds known as N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids. N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an carbamoyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. S-(-)-ureidoglycolate is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). S-(-)-ureidoglycolate can be found in a number of food items such as summer grape, saffron, garden cress, and pasta, which makes S-(-)-ureidoglycolate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids. N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an carbamoyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom.
