CEGZ-6953

Description

L-3-(2-Naphthyl)alanine is a non-proteinogenic aromatic amino acid in which the phenyl ring of phenylalanine is replaced by a 2-naphthyl group. The extended aromatic system increases hydrophobicity and π-surface area of the residue.

Applications

Used as a building block in peptide synthesis and medicinal chemistry for the preparation of aromatic amino acid-containing peptide analogues in pharmaceutical research.

Product Overview

Naphthylalanine residues are incorporated into peptides to enhance aromatic and hydrophobic interactions with biological targets, and they occur in a number of bioactive peptide analogues, including gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists.
