Description

Alanine, Glycyl-, Methyl Ester (9Ci) CAS NO 438002-25-6 is a protected dipeptide derivative, specifically the methyl ester of the glycyl-alanine dipeptide. This compound is a crucial building block in peptide synthesis, offering a protected C-terminus that facilitates controlled chain elongation and minimizes side reactions. It is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of novel peptides, peptidomimetics, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS): A fundamental starting material or intermediate for the controlled assembly of custom peptide sequences in research and development.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of more complex peptide-based drug candidates and therapeutic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Used in enzymatic studies, substrate specificity investigations, and as a standard in analytical method development for peptide analysis.
• Combinatorial Chemistry: Employed in libraries for drug discovery to generate diverse arrays of peptide-like compounds for screening.
• Protecting Group Strategy: The methyl ester group provides a temporary protection for the carboxylic acid functionality, which can be selectively removed under mild conditions.
