CAS 59081-61-7
:2-methyl-N-phenylalanine
Description:
2-Methyl-N-phenylalanine, with the CAS number 59081-61-7, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a methyl group at the second carbon of the alanine backbone and a phenyl group attached to the nitrogen of the amino group. This compound is a non-standard amino acid, which means it is not one of the 20 standard amino acids commonly found in proteins. Its structure contributes to unique properties, such as increased hydrophobicity due to the phenyl group, which can influence protein folding and stability when incorporated into peptides or proteins. 2-Methyl-N-phenylalanine may exhibit interesting biological activities and could be of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of novel therapeutics or as a building block in peptide synthesis. Additionally, its solubility and reactivity can vary depending on the pH and the presence of other functional groups, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis and biochemical applications.

CAS:<p>2-Methyl-2-(phenylamino)propanoic acid is a heterocyclic compound that is structurally related to amino acids. It has been shown to have antiviral activity against the polymerase of hepatitis B virus and cytotoxic effects against human malignant cell lines. 2-Methyl-2-(phenylamino)propanoic acid inhibits the action of serine proteases by binding to the active site of these enzymes, thereby blocking the cleavage of peptide bonds. This compound also binds copper ions in a 1:1 ratio, which may be important for its antiviral activity. 2-Methyl-2-(phenylamino)propanoic acid has also been shown to inhibit the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein by binding to viral polymerase, which is an enzyme required for viral replication.</p>Formula:C10H13NO2Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:179.22 g/mol
