Description

D-(+)-phenyllactic acid is a pharmaceutical drug that is used to catalyze the asymmetric synthesis of chiral compounds. It is an enantiomer of L-phenyllactic acid, and it has been shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. D-(+)-phenyllactic acid can also be used to catalyze the formation of taxol, a clinical drug which has been shown to inhibit tumor growth. D-(+)-phenyllactic acid binds to the active site of catalase, an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide in cells. The reaction mechanism for catalysis by D-(+)-phenyllactic acid is not well understood, but it may involve monocarboxylic acids such as formic or acetic acids.
