Agaritine. Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Agaritine is a carcinogen and an antiviral compound found in mushroom species of the genus Agaricus. Agaritine and related compounds may be potential inhibitors against HIV proteases.

Definition

ChEBI: Agaritine is a carbohydrazide, a L-glutamic acid derivative, a member of benzyl alcohols and a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid. It is a tautomer of an agaritine zwitterion.

General Description

Colorless glistening crystals.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

An amino acid derivative. Toxic gases are formed by mixing Agaritine. with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing Agaritine. with alkali metals.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Very Toxic. Hazardous decomposition products. Experimental carcinogen.

Fire Hazard

The flash point of Agaritine. has not been determined, but Agaritine. is probably combustible.
