12-Aminododecanoic acid is an alkane chain with terminal carboxlic acid and amine groups. The compound can be used as a PROTAC linker in the synthesis of PROTACs. The amino group (NH2) is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde) etc. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups of activated NHS ester to form a stable amide bond.
12-Aminolauric Acid is an amino acid used as a reagent in organic synthesis of several compounds including phenylbutazone which is a new long-acting agent which displays improved pharmacokinectics based on human serum albumin as a drug carrier.
ChEBI: 12-aminododecanoic acid is an omega-amino fatty acid that is dodecanoic acid in which one of the terminal amino hydrogens has been replaced by an amino group. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite. It is an omega-amino fatty acid and a medium-chain fatty acid.
