The present invention describes compounds produced from an orotic acid molecule and an amino acid molecule. The compounds being in the form of amino acid orotate compounds bound by an amide linkage and produced by one of two disclosed methods; 1) reacting orotic acid or derivatives thereof with a thionyl halide, and then combining the acyl halide with an amino acid in the presence of dichloromethane and a DMAP catalyst; or 2) protecting the carboxylic acid of an amino acid and then combining the amino acid with a DCC activated orotic acid, followed by removal of the carboxylic acid protecting group. The resulting amino acid orotate amide has an enhanced stability in solution as compared to a related ester. In addition, specific benefits are conferred by the particular amino acid used to form the compounds in addition to, and separate from, the orotate substituent.
本发明描述了从
乳酸和
氨基酸分子产生的化合物。这些化合物以
氨基酸乳酸盐的形式存在,通过酰胺键结合,并通过两种方法之一制备:1)将
乳酸或其衍
生物与
硫酰卤反应,然后在
二氯甲烷和
DMAP催化剂的存在下将
酰卤与
氨基酸结合;或2)保护
氨基酸的羧基,然后将
氨基酸与
DCC活化的
乳酸结合,随后去除羧基保护基团。与相关酯相比,所得的
氨基酸乳酸酰胺在溶液中具有更高的稳定性。此外,特定的
氨基酸用于形成这些化合物,除了
乳酸取代基外,还赋予了特定的益处。
