Product Description:

3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative characterized by a D-alanine backbone with a 3-pyridyl substituent at the β-position. This structure makes it a chiral building block containing both an amino acid moiety and a heterocyclic (pyridine) ring system. This compound serves as a key chiral intermediate in pharmaceutical research and development. Its primary application is in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the field of medicinal chemistry where the pyridine ring can act as a pharmacophore or a hydrogen bond acceptor. It is used in the preparation of peptide mimetics and other bioactive compounds that target various biological pathways. As a derivative of D-alanine, it is also relevant in biochemical studies, especially those involving enzymes that process D-amino acids or in the design of enzyme inhibitors. Its specific stereochemistry (D-configuration) is crucial for its intended biological activity and interaction with target proteins.
