Product Description
(R)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(pyridin-3-yl)propanoic acid is an alanine analogue.
Fmoc-3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine (CAS 142994-45-4) is an Fmoc-protected derivative of the D-enantiomer of the non-proteinogenic amino acid 3-(3-pyridyl)-alanine. It features a 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group protecting the α-amino group, while the carboxyl group remains free. With a molecular formula of C₂₃H₂₀N₂O₄ and a molecular weight of approximately 388.42 g/mol, this compound is a building block in Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis (Fmoc SPPS). The pyridyl side-chain provides a nitrogen-containing heterocycle that can be used for metal coordination and to study peptide-metal interactions.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Fmoc-3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine does not have a specific biological target. Its primary utility is as a chemical building block in Fmoc-based peptide synthesis. The compound serves as a protected D-3-(3-pyridyl)-alanine unit that can be incorporated into peptide chains while the Fmoc group protects the amino group from unwanted reactions. D-3-(3-pyridyl)-alanine is not naturally found in proteins but is used in peptide research to introduce a nitrogen-containing heterocycle for metal coordination. In its protected form, the compound is not designed to interact with biological receptors or enzymes.
ln Vitro
Commercial ergot supplements have been made from amino acids and their derivatives. They affect the release of anabolic hormones, the availability of fuel for activity, the ability to think clearly under pressure, and the prevention of muscular damage brought on by exertion. They are regarded as advantageous synergistic food ingredients [1].
Fmoc-3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine does not exhibit pharmacological activity in vitro. As a protected amino acid derivative, it is a synthetic intermediate rather than a bioactive compound. In vitro studies using this compound focus on its chemical reactivity, such as its use in peptide bond formation reactions, rather than assessments of pharmacological activity. The compound may be used as a substrate in enzymatic assays to study the cleavage of Fmoc protecting groups, but these are analytical applications. Its role in research is almost exclusively as a reagent for organic synthesis.
ln Vivo
Fmoc-3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine is not a pharmacologically active compound and therefore does not have defined in vivo activity as a drug. When administered to animals, the compound would likely be metabolized to release 3-(3-pyridyl)-D-alanine, which would then be processed by D-amino acid oxidase and other enzymes. However, the compound is not used therapeutically. Its primary value remains in synthetic chemistry, where it serves as a building block for the preparation of peptides and pharmaceutical compounds.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for Fmoc-3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine are primarily focused on its chemical properties and reactivity rather than biological activity. Standard protocols in Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis involve the use of this compound as a protected amino acid building block. The compound is typically dissolved in polar aprotic solvents such as DMF or DCM and coupled to a growing peptide chain on a solid support using standard peptide coupling reagents. The progress of the coupling reaction can be monitored by HPLC or TLC. The Fmoc group can be removed under basic conditions.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays using Fmoc-3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine are not commonly performed because the compound lacks intrinsic biological activity. The compound is used exclusively in synthetic chemistry applications and is not designed for cell culture studies. Its use is confined to the laboratory, where it serves as a building block for the preparation of peptides and pharmaceutical compounds.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with Fmoc-3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine are not typically conducted, as the compound is a synthetic intermediate rather than a pharmacologically active agent. If used in vivo, the compound would be administered to animals to study the metabolism of protected amino acid derivatives. However, such studies are rare, and the compound is generally used exclusively in synthetic chemistry applications.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Fmoc-3-(3-Pyridyl)-D-alanine is not a drug candidate, and pharmacokinetic data are not available. As a protected amino acid derivative, it is designed for chemical synthesis rather than systemic administration. If administered in vivo, the compound would likely be metabolized to release 3-(3-pyridyl)-D-alanine. The compound's pharmacokinetic properties have not been characterized.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The compound is generally considered to have low toxicity, consistent with its use as a chemical reagent. Standard laboratory safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended. It is not classified as a highly toxic substance, but appropriate safety measures should be followed. Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact should be avoided.

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:

  • 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)
