Acetylation is the chemical process of introduction of an acetyl group into a molecule. Acyls are used in the modification of histones and proteins
Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/10/2017 -- Acetyls or acyls are functional group organic compounds with the chemical formula CH3CO. The acetyl or acyl group contains a methyl group single-bonded to a carbonyl. The carbonyl center of an acyl compound has one non-bonded electron with which chemical bonds with alkyl groups are formed. Ethanoyl is the IUPAC name of acyl. Often known as the acetyl moiety, it is present in acetic acid, acetylcholine, acetyl-CoA, acetylcysteine, acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid. Acetylation is the chemical process of introduction of an acetyl group into a molecule. Acyls are used in the modification of histones and proteins.
Acetyls Market: Drivers & Restraints
Acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride are used for the formation of acetyls. Acetylated organic compounds exhibit increased ability to cross the selectively permeable blood–brain barrier. Acetylation assists a particular drug to reach the brain more quickly, further enabling strong drug effects and increased effectiveness of the drug dose. Acetylation converts the natural painkiller morphine into its intense form of heroin. Acetylation of resveratrol is currently under study as a potential alternative as one of the first anti-radiation drugs for humans. The global acetyl market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing application in diverse end-user industry and strong research advancements which is expected to open novel opportunities in several end user industries.
