ε- Aminocaproic acid

ε- Aminocaproic acid is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative classified as a ω-amino carboxylic acid, featuring a six-carbon aliphatic chain terminating in a primary ε-amino group and a carboxylic acid group. The molecule bears both an amino and a carboxyl functional group along the same chain, allowing it to form zwitterionic species and participate in amide bond formation under peptide-coupling conditions, while its flexible hydrophobic side chain can influence the conformation of resulting amide or peptide-like structures. ε- Aminocaproic acid is used in synthetic chemistry and chemical biology workflows to prepare substituted amide linkages, serve as a building block for peptide and peptidomimetic scaffolds, and provide an amino-functional handle for conjugation, labeling, or structure-activity studies.
