The Uses of 2-Methyl-D-phenylalanine
2-Methyl-D-phenylalanine is a derivative of D-Phenylalanine (P319410); the stereoisomer of L-Phenylalanine (P319415) used in the synthesis of Schaeffer’s acid analogs as important structures in tuberculostatic design. These analogs exhibit the ability to inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis type II dehydroquinase.
The Uses of 2-Methyl-D-phenylalanine
α-Methyl-D-phenylalanine is used to prepare hippuryl-α-methylphenylalanine and hippuryl-α-methylphenyllactic acid as substrates for carboxypeptidase A. It is also used in the synthesis of high affinity tachykinin NK2 receptor antagonists.
