Product Description
2-Phenylglycine (DL-α-Phenylglycine) is a metabolite in breast milk during W2 to W4 lactation.
2-Phenylglycine, also known as DL-α-phenylglycine or α-phenylglycine, is a metabolite found in breast milk during lactation. It has the molecular formula C8H9NO2 and a molecular weight of 151.16. 2-Phenylglycine is a building block used in the synthesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural protein 3 (NS3) protease inhibitors and compounds with fungicidal activity. It is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of benzoquinone-amino acid conjugates, which have antibacterial activity. The compound is available in high purity (>95%).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2-Phenylglycine is a building block and intermediate used in the synthesis of various bioactive compounds. It has been used in the synthesis of HCV NS3 protease inhibitors, which target the viral protease essential for HCV replication. It is also used to synthesize compounds with fungicidal activity and benzoquinone-amino acid conjugates with antibacterial activity. As a metabolite, it may also have biological activities, but its primary role in research is as a synthetic intermediate.
ln Vitro
2-Phenylglycine exhibits in vitro activity primarily as a chemical intermediate. It is used in the synthesis of HCV NS3 protease inhibitors, fungicidal compounds, and antibacterial benzoquinone-amino acid conjugates. Its activity is assessed in chemical synthesis reactions, where it serves as a precursor for more complex molecules. The biological activity of the final compounds is evaluated in appropriate assays. These in vitro activities confirm its value as a building block in medicinal chemistry.
ln Vivo
2-Phenylglycine is not typically used as a therapeutic agent in vivo. However, its derivatives, such as HCV NS3 protease inhibitors, may have therapeutic applications. As a metabolite found in breast milk, it may also have physiological roles. Its in vivo effects are not relevant to its primary use as a chemical building block.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for 2-Phenylglycine are chemical rather than biological. The compound's utility as a building block is assessed by its reactivity in organic synthesis reactions. The formation of HCV NS3 protease inhibitors, fungicidal compounds, or antibacterial conjugates from 2-phenylglycine is monitored by analytical techniques such as NMR, HPLC, or mass spectrometry. These assays confirm the compound's suitability for the synthesis of bioactive molecules.
Cell Assay
2-Phenylglycine is not typically used in cellular assays, as it is a chemical reagent rather than a biological agent. However, its derivatives, such as HCV NS3 protease inhibitors or antibacterial compounds, may be tested in cellular assays. These assays would assess the biological activity of the final compounds, not 2-phenylglycine itself.
Animal Protocol
2-Phenylglycine is not used in animal experiments as a therapeutic agent. However, its derivatives, such as HCV NS3 protease inhibitors, may be tested in animal models of HCV infection. These studies would evaluate the efficacy of the final compounds, not 2-phenylglycine itself.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
2-Phenylglycine is a small, polar molecule with a molecular weight of 151.16. It is soluble in water and organic solvents. Its pharmacokinetic profile is not relevant to its primary use as a chemical building block. The compound is typically stored at room temperature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
2-Phenylglycine is considered to have low toxicity based on its use as a research compound. However, comprehensive toxicological evaluations have not been extensively published. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
