L-Homoserine
L-Homoserine - Drug intermediate
Homoserine is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of three essential amino acids: methionine, threonine (an isomer of homoserine), and isoleucine. It forms by two reductions of aspartic acid via the intermediacy of aspartate semialdehyde.
Synthesis - Synthesis products and Intermediates
Becarre also represents certain molecules obtained by synthesis, which can be also initially present in plants but in too low a content or with the presence of other undesirable molecules.
It can also be improved grades by synthesis or hemisynthesis, such as L-Seleno-methionine which was initially created by Sabinsa (or forms of other minerals such as Zinc picolinate or Monomethionine), always with the desire to improve bioavailability.
Finally, there are synthetic intermediates (for example aromatic synthesis), in particular produced by Organica, a subsidiary of Sabinsa.
