Application

4-(Aminomethyl)benzoic acid (PAMBA) can be used in the synthesis of:
  • Cobalt carboxy phosphonates.
  • Apoptozole (Az), which has cellular potency to promote membrane trafficking of mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel activity.
  • Cyclopeptide composed of L-glutamic acid and 3-aminobenzoic acid that can be used as receptors for a variety of cations and anions.
  • A bioactive peptide which has potent GPR54 (a G protein-coupled receptor) agonistic activity.

Other Notes

4-(Aminomethyl)benzoic acid is also an antihemorrhagic agent, which is used for the treatment of internal haemorrhage.

Dietary peptides are potent stimulators of cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion, but the sensing mechanism in CCK-producing cells is poorly understood. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) mediates CCK secretion induced by amino acids. We investigated the role

While recent studies have shown that for some peptides, such as oligoglycines and Leu-enkephalin, mid-sized b fragment ions exist as a mixture of oxazolone and macrocycle structures, other primary structure motifs, such as QWFGLM, are shown to exclusively give rise
