Product Information
- N-Formyl-DL-phenylalanin
- Formylphenylalanin
N-Formyl-DL-phenylalanine is a chiral molecule that has been shown to be an effective cancer drug. It is used in the treatment of malignant melanoma, and can be administered orally or intravenously. N-Formyl-DL-phenylalanine is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed to phenylalanine and formic acid. The optical activity of this molecule depends on the enantiomeric form of the drug, which can be either (+) or (-). When (+) N-formylphenylalanine was administered, it showed greater anti-cancer effects than (-) N-formylphenylalanine.
N-Formyl-DL-phenylalanine also has thermodynamic properties that are dependent on its enantiomeric form. Its enthalpic contribution to the Gibbs free energy equation for the reaction with water is higher for (+) N-formylphenylalanine than for (-) N
