Product Information

• Name: 2-({[(9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy]carbonyl}amino)-3-phenylpropanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-({[(9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy]carbonyl}amino)-3-phenylpropanoic acid (FAHP) is a chiral, nonracemic optical probe that is used to measure the ratio of d-glutamine to l-glutamine in the brain. It has been shown to have a linear response over the range of endogenous levels and to have no effect on cerebrospinal fluid chloride concentration or osmolarity. FAHP binds to β-cyclodextrin and emits fluorescence when excited by light at a wavelength of 360 nm. This compound is stable in acidic solutions and can be injected into the body without degradation. It has also been shown that FAHP causes enantioseparation of racemic mixtures of d-(+)-glucose and d-(−)-glucose.
