Boc-L-prolinal is a stereoselective enolate that has been used in the synthesis of organometallic compounds. It is also used in the preparation of monoclonal antibodies, which are proteins that are produced by the immune system to help fight off infections. Boc-L-prolinal has been shown to be an effective agent for treating many cancers, including breast cancer and melanoma. In addition, it has been shown to inhibit epidermal growth factor (EGF) and other growth factors, which may be due to its ability to induce apoptotic signaling. Boc-L-prolinal also contains a carbonyl group, which can undergo acidolysis reactions with nucleophiles such as water or alcohols.

Cbz-L-glutamine is a water soluble compound that is used in the synthesis of pomalidomide. It is synthesized through a stepwise amide formation from methylamine and ethylene diamine. Cbz-L-glutamine has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to break down hydroxamic acids. This chemical reaction causes the release of hydrogen ions, which leads to the disruption of various cellular processes, such as DNA replication and protein synthesis. The uptake of Cbz-L-glutamine by cancer cells has been shown in tissue culture experiments.

N-Cbz-L-homoserine is a synthetic amino acid that has been used in positron emission tomography (PET) studies to determine the uptake and utilisation of other amino acids by biological systems. It has also been used in biological studies to investigate the mechanism of nucleophilic attack by serine on Cbz-protected homoserine. N-Cbz-L-homoserine has been shown to have hepatotoxic effects and may be carcinogenic, but no evidence indicates it is mutagenic or teratogenic. It is highly reactive with acrylonitrile, which can cause it to produce hydrogen cyanide as a result of nitrile hydrolysis.
