(+)-Phenylalanine methyl ester

Description:

(+)-Phenylalanine methyl ester is an organic compound that serves as a derivative of the amino acid phenylalanine. It is characterized by the presence of a methyl ester functional group attached to the carboxylic acid of phenylalanine, which enhances its lipophilicity and alters its solubility properties. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol, but less soluble in water. The compound is optically active, exhibiting specific optical rotation due to the presence of a chiral center, which is indicative of its (+) enantiomeric form. (+)-Phenylalanine methyl ester is often utilized in biochemical research and synthesis, particularly in the study of peptide synthesis and as a building block in the production of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it may have applications in flavoring and fragrance industries due to its sweet taste profile. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to avoid exposure.

D-Phenylalanine methyl ester

CAS: 21685-51-8

D-Phenylalanine methyl ester is an analogue of the amino acid phenylalanine. It inhibits fatty acid synthesis by competitively binding to the enzyme acyl carrier protein, which regulates the incorporation of fatty acids into phospholipids. This inhibition prevents the production of cell membrane lipids and leads to cell death. D-Phenylalanine methyl ester has been used as a diagnostic agent for cancer because it can be detected in urine samples. It has also been shown to have growth factor activity, which may be responsible for its anticancer properties.
