Product Information

• Name: L-b-Phenyllactic acid
• Synonyms: (S)-(-)-2-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid(S)-(-)-3-Phenyllactic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-b-Phenyllactic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is found in urine. It has an inhibitory effect on the binding of certain inhibitors, such as fatty acids and malic acid, to their receptors. L-b-Phenyllactic acid also inhibits the binding of some drugs, such as L-DOPA, to their receptors. This inhibition may be due to hydrogen bonding or receptor binding interactions with specific amino acids in the receptor protein. L-b-Phenyllactic acid has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on leukemia cells and is used for animal experiments.
