2-Methyl-D-phenylalanine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White powder

Uses

α-Methyl-D-phenylalanine is used to prepare hippuryl-α-methylphenylalanine and hippuryl-α-methylphenyllactic acid as substrates for carboxypeptidase A. It is also used in the synthesis of high affinity tachykinin NK2 receptor antagonists.

Uses

2-Methyl-D-phenylalanine is a derivative of D-Phenylalanine (P319410); the stereoisomer of L-Phenylalanine (P319415) used in the synthesis of Schaeffer’s acid analogs as important structures in tuberculostatic design. These analogs exhibit the ability to inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis type II dehydroquinase.
