Aspartic acid, also known as aspartic acid, is a α- Amino acid, the L-isomer of aspartic acid is one of 20 protein amino acids, that is, the structural unit of protein, and its codons are gau and GAC. It is an acidic amino acid with glutamic acid. Aspartic acid is ubiquitous in biosynthesis.
It is the synthetic precursor of amino acids such as lysine, threonine, isoleucine and methionine and purine and pyrimidine bases in organisms. It can be used as a carrier of K + and Mg2 + ions to deliver electrolytes to the myocardium, so as to improve the myocardial contractile function and reduce oxygen consumption. It has a protective effect on the myocardium in the case of coronary circulation disorder and hypoxia. It participates in ornithine circulation, promotes the production of urea from oxygen and carbon dioxide, reduces the amount of nitrogen and carbon dioxide in blood, enhances liver function and eliminates fatigue.
Main Purpose
Aspartic acid can regulate the metabolic function of brain and nerve. Its L-aspartic acid is widely used as ammonia antidote, liver function promoter, fatigue restorer and other pharmaceutical products and additives of various cool drinks; Its racemic DL aspartic acid (DL ASP) can be used to synthesize DL aspartic acid potassium magnesium salt (pulse stability) [1], and can be used to treat arrhythmia, tachycardia, heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and other diseases.
DL aspartic acid can also be used as a raw material for the synthesis of peptides. Its amino acid substituted derivative (nmdla) can be used as a drug for the treatment of neurological and brain diseases. For example, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA), a derivative of aspartic acid, can significantly enhance the excitatory effect of discharge units of optic nerve units, [4] It can be used as one of the important excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in mammalian central nervous system.
Aspartic acid is widely used in medicine, food and chemical industry.
In medicine, it can be used to treat heart disease, liver disease and hypertension. It can prevent and restore fatigue. Together with a variety of amino acids, it is made into amino acid infusion, which can be used as ammonia antidote, liver function promoter and fatigue recovery agent.
In the food industry, it is a good nutritional supplement, which is added to all kinds of cool drinks; It is also the main raw material of Sweetener (aspartame) - aspartyl phenylalanine methyl ester.
In chemical industry, it can be used as raw material for manufacturing synthetic resin. It can also be used as nutritional additives for cosmetics.
