Application

L-Histidine methyl ester dihydrochloride can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • Imidazopyridine derivatives by Pictet-Spegler reaction with different aldehydes.
  • A metal-chelating ligand, N-methacryloyl-(l)-histidine methyl ester by reacting with methacryloyl chloride.
  • Zwitterionic polypeptide derivative by amidation reaction with poly (α,β-L-aspartic acid).

Xiaoyu Su et al.
Chirality, 21(5), 539-546 (2008-08-14)
Two kinds of novel chiral molecular tweezers containing imidazoliums were synthesized from L-alanine, L-phenylalanine, and L-glutamic acid. They are constructed by the chiral imidazolium pincers and two different spacers which are 1,3-bis (bromomethyl)benzene and 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine, respectively. The enantioselective recognition of

L-Histidine methyl ester inactivates histidine decarboxylase in a time-dependent manner. The possibility was considered that an irreversible reaction between enzyme and inhibitor occurs [Recsei, P. A., & Snell, E. E. (1970) Biochemistry 9, 1492-1497]. We have confirmed time-dependent inactivation by

The title compound, C7H13N3O2(2+).2Cl-, has distances and angles quite similar to those of histidine hydrochloride monohydrate [Donohue & Caron (1964). Acta Cryst. 17, 1178-1180], except for the distances within the ester functionality.

Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) from Lactobacillus 30a converts histidine to histamine, a process that enables the bacteria to maintain the optimum pH range for cell growth. HDC is regulated by pH; it is active at low pH and inactive at neutral

An enhancing effect of L-histidine (L-His) was detected on the induction by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) of chromosomal aberrations of both the chromosome type and the chromatid type, in human embryonic fibroblasts. The maximum efficiency of induction was about 8-fold higher
