Properties and stability

1. Participate in the biosynthesis of glucosamine, a component of mucin in the digestive tract mucosa, thereby promoting the repair of mucosal epithelial tissue and helping to eliminate ulcer lesions. At the same time, it can promote brain metabolism and improve brain function through the blood-brain barrier. Like glutamate, it is an important nutrient for brain metabolism.

2. Exist in tobacco leaves and smoke.

3. Valuable in the field of immunity. After the body converts toxic ammonia into non-toxic glutamine, it is excreted through urine. Generally not involved in the composition of proteins.

Storage method

This product should be stored in a sealed, cool place and away from light.

Synthesis method

L-Glutamine widely exists in nature. For example, it is contained in free state in pumpkin and sunflower seedlings, and its N-ethyl compound (theanine) is contained in tea leaves. Although glutamine can be extracted from natural products, fermentation and synthesis are used for mass production. 1. Synthesis method: It is obtained by condensation, addition, salt formation and hydrolysis of L-glutamic acid-5-methyl ester ([1499-55-4]). Glutamic acid is esterified with methanol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid, and the resulting esterified liquid is added dropwise to the mixture of methanol and carbon disulfide. While adding dropwise, ammonia is circulated under cooling. After the esterification liquid is added dropwise, continue to pass ammonia, then add triethylamine, and leave it sealed at 30°C for 40 hours. After concentrating under reduced pressure to drive out ammonia, a concentrated solution of γ-methyl ester-L-glutamic acid-N-amino acid diammonium salt was obtained. Heat it to 40-45°C and add acetic acid. After stirring for 30 minutes, carbon disulfide was removed under reduced pressure, and a large amount of crystals precipitated. Then add an equal volume of methanol, place it at 0°C for 12 hours, and filter to obtain crude glutamine. The finished product is obtained through activated carbon decolorization and recrystallization. 2. Fermentation method uses glucose, acetic acid, and ethanol as the carbon source of the culture medium, and uses Brevibacterium flavum for fermentation. The yield based on glucose is 39g/L, and the yield is 39%.

Purpose

1. This product is converted into sugar amine in the body, which serves as a precursor for mucin synthesis and can promote ulcer healing. It is mainly used as a peptic tract ulcer drug. In addition, it can also be used as a brain function improver and in the treatment of alcoholism.

2.It is used to improve the brain function of children with mental retardation and patients with mental disorders, alcoholism and epilepsy.

3. Nutritional supplements. In medicine, it is used to treat digestive organ ulcers (gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers) and acute and chronic gastritis. It is also used as a brain function improver and to treat alcoholism.
