Product Information

• Name: Phthaloyl-L-alanine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Phthaloyl-L-alanine is a molecule with a hydrochloric acid group and a carbonyl group. It has been shown to have the ability to bind to peptidyl molecules and immobilize them, leading to an inhibition of the reaction mechanism. This process can be induced by enzymatic inactivation or by hydrogen bonding with chloride. The cisplatin-induced apoptosis of cancer cells has been demonstrated using patch-clamp technique on human erythrocytes. Caspases are proteins that are activated during apoptosis and have been found to interact with Phthaloyl-L-alanine in vitro. Molecular modeling studies suggest that Phthaloyl-L-alanine may inhibit caspases by binding to the enzyme's active site.
