Phenylalanine, N-methyl- is a derivative of the amino acid phenylalanine, characterized by the addition of a methyl group to the nitrogen atom of the amino group. This modification alters its properties compared to standard phenylalanine. The compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the amino and carboxyl functional groups. It is classified as an amino acid derivative and may exhibit biological activity, potentially influencing neurotransmitter synthesis due to its structural similarity to phenylalanine. The presence of the methyl group can affect its interaction with biological systems, including protein synthesis and enzyme activity. As with many amino acid derivatives, it may be used in research settings, particularly in studies related to metabolism, neurochemistry, and pharmacology. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

2-​(Methylamino)​-​3-​phenylpropanoic acid

2-(Methylamino)-3-phenylpropanoic acid is a proton ionophore that inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to amine groups in cell walls. 2-(Methylamino)-3-phenylpropanoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells by preventing ATP production. It binds to lysine residues on the bacterial cell wall and blocks the proton channel, which prevents the accumulation of protons inside the cell and leads to a loss of energy production. This agent also inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by inhibiting messenger RNA (mRNA) function. 2-(Methylamino)-3-phenylpropanoic acid has been used as a model system to study biochemical properties of amines and tetracycline resistance in corynebacterium glutamicum.
