Product Description:

3-(3-Pyridyl)-L-alanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring an L-alanine backbone with a 3-pyridyl substituent at the β-position. It is a chiral compound and serves as a structural analog of phenylalanine, where the phenyl ring is replaced by a pyridine ring. This compound is primarily utilized in biochemical and pharmaceutical research. It acts as a precursor or building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules, including peptides and peptidomimetics designed for drug discovery. Its pyridine moiety can participate in hydrogen bonding and coordination, making it a valuable component for modulating the physicochemical and binding properties of bioactive compounds. It is also investigated for its potential role in studying enzyme mechanisms and as a tracer in metabolic studies. As a specialty amino acid derivative, it is typically handled as a fine chemical for research purposes. Standard precautions for handling laboratory chemicals should be observed.
