• Synonyms: DL-2-Ureidopropionic acid

Description

Carbamoyl-DL-Ala-OH is a synthetic amino acid that is used as a building block in peptide synthesis. It hydrolyzes and alkylates proteins, forming the corresponding amide and acid. A kinetic study of the hydrolysis of carbamoyl-DL-Ala-OH was conducted using a mutant strain of E. coli, which showed that carbamoyl-DL-Ala-OH hydrolyzed at pH 3.5 to 4.5 and did not form an observable amount of acid at this pH range. The prebiotic activity of carbamoyl DL-ala has been studied in rats and humans, who were given 50 mg of this amino acid per day for 3 weeks. Carbamoyl DL-ala was found to be safe and well tolerated by these subjects, with no significant changes in blood pressure observed in either species.
