(3S)-3-methyl-D-aspartic acid

(3S)-3-methyl-D-aspartic acid is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid D-aspartic acid. It is a small molecule with the chemical formula C5H9NO4 and a molecular weight of 147.13 g/mol[7][10]. While D-aspartic acid itself is naturally occurring in the human body and has been studied for its roles in neuroendocrine regulation and reproductive function, (3S)-3-methyl-D-aspartic acid represents a methylated analog that may be used experimentally to probe structure-activity relationships at glutamate receptors or other amino-acid sensitive targets. There are no approved medical indications or marketed products containing this compound; it remains an investigational molecule primarily referenced in research contexts[7].
