描述
N-acetyl-l-citrulline, also known as (S)-2-acetamido-5-ureidopentanoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as N-acyl-l-alpha-amino acids. N-acyl-l-alpha-amino acids are n-acylated alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. N-acetyl-l-citrulline is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). N-acetyl-l-citrulline can be found in a number of food items such as macadamia nut, persian lime, broccoli, and annual wild rice, which makes N-acetyl-l-citrulline a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
