Abstract
Abstract Novel N-acyl depeptides of the formula: R.sup.2 --NH--CHR.sup.1 --CO--AS in which AS, R 1 and R 2 have certain, more precisely defined meanings. These N-acyl dipeptides are more stable under conditions of sterilization (121° C.) than corresponding, non-acylated dipeptides. On the other hand, they are cleaved more rapidly and more completely at the peptide bond in the living organism than the cleavage of the acyl group from simple N-acyl amino acids takes place. They can therefore be used with advantage as a source for the carbon terminal amino acid in mixtures and solutions for artificial nutrition or in culture media for cell cultures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A composition suitable for use as a glutamine source in a culture medium, comprising an N-acyl dipeptide of the formula: R.sup.2 --NH--CHR.sup.1 --CO--AS (I') in which AS stands for the residue obtained by removing a hydrogen from the nitrogen atom of an amino acid selected from the group consisting of valine, leucine, isoleucine, tryosine, tryptophan, glutamine and cysteine, when R 1 signifies the side chain of a natural amino acid and R 2 a formyl- or acetyl group or an acyl group of an aliphatic mono- or dicarboxylic acid containing 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and their physiologically compatible carboxylic-acid salts as a source for said amino acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A composition suitable for use as a glutamine source in a culture medium, comprising an N-acyl dipeptide of the formula: R.sup.2 --NH--CHR.sup.1 --CO--AS (I') in which AS stands for the residue obtained by removing a hydrogen from the nitrogen atom of an amino acid selected from the group consisting of valine, leucine, isoleucine, tryosine, tryptophan, glutamine and cysteine, when R 1 signifies the side chain of a natural amino acid and R 2 a formyl- or acetyl group or an acyl group of an aliphatic mono- or dicarboxylic acid containing 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and their physiologically compatible carboxylic-acid salts as a source for said amino acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A culture medium as set forth in claim 1 in which the N-acyl dipeptide is N-acetyl-L-alanyl-L-glutamine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The composition according to claim 1, wherein said culture medium is a tissue cell culture medium.
