Tyrosine, O-[3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl]-3,5-diiodo-, also known as 3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine or 3,5-diiodo-tyrosine, is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid tyrosine. It features a 3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl group attached to the oxygen atom of the tyrosine molecule, and two iodine atoms at the 3rd and 5th positions of the phenyl ring. Tyrosine, O-[3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl]-3,5-diiodo- is often used in medical research and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the development of radiopharmaceuticals for imaging studies, such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The presence of iodine atoms enhances the compound's radiopaque properties, making it suitable for tracer studies in various biological processes.
The CAS Registry Mumber 62960-49-0 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,2,9,6 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 9 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 62960-49: (7*6)+(6*2)+(5*9)+(4*6)+(3*0)+(2*4)+(1*9)=140 140 % 10 = 0 So 62960-49-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
