Description

D-9-Anthrylaalanine is a specialized, non-natural amino acid derivative featuring a bulky anthracene-based side chain, making it a valuable chiral building block and fluorescent probe. Its unique structure provides exceptional utility in advanced research and development, particularly in the fields of asymmetric synthesis and molecular recognition. This compound is essential for pharmaceutical researchers, agrochemical developers, and material scientists working on novel drug candidates, chiral catalysts, and luminescent materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for probing receptor-ligand interactions.
• Fluorescent Labeling & Probes: Utilized in biochemistry and analytical chemistry to create fluorescently tagged peptides, proteins, or sensors due to the strong fluorescence of the anthryl group.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Acts as a precursor or ligand for chiral catalysts used in enantioselective synthesis to produce optically pure compounds.
• Peptidomimetics & Drug Design: Incorporated into peptide backbones to study structure-activity relationships (SAR), enhance metabolic stability, or introduce specific steric and fluorescent properties.
• Material Science Research: Used in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other advanced organic electronic materials as a functional component.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A critical reagent for universities and corporate R&D centers exploring new chemical entities and molecular architectures.
