Product Description:

L-Alanyl-L-proline is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids L-alanine and L-proline. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder with the molecular formula C8H14N2O3 and a molecular weight of 186.21 g/mol. This compound is a specific stereoisomer, featuring the (S)-configuration at both chiral centers. This dipeptide is primarily recognized for its role as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex bioactive peptides and pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a model substrate for studying the activity of specific enzymes, such as prolidase, which is involved in collagen metabolism. Research indicates its potential application as a functional ingredient in cosmetic and dermatological formulations, where it may contribute to skin conditioning and moisturization due to its peptide nature. As a small, stable dipeptide, L-Alanyl-L-proline is also utilized in biochemical research related to peptide stability, transport, and metabolism. It is typically handled as a laboratory chemical under standard conditions for non-hazardous substances.
