| Targets |
Fmoc-HoPhe-OH targets peptide synthesis applications as a building block for introducing homophenylalanine residues. The extended aromatic side chain (one methylene longer than natural phenylalanine) can influence peptide conformation, hydrophobicity, and biological activity. As a phenylalanine analogue, it is used to study structure-activity relationships and improve peptide drug properties. The base-labile Fmoc group enables SPPS.

| 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].
In vitro activity of Fmoc-HoPhe-OH is primarily as a peptide synthesis building block. The homophenylalanine residue introduced via this compound can modulate peptide conformation and biological activity. Peptides containing homophenylalanine have been studied for various biological activities including enzyme inhibition and receptor modulation. The extended aromatic side chain can enhance hydrophobic interactions with target proteins. The compound itself is not directly biologically active. |
| ln Vivo |
There is no specific in vivo activity data for Fmoc-HoPhe-OH as a standalone compound. Peptides containing homophenylalanine residues synthesized using this building block may be evaluated in vivo for therapeutic applications. The extended aromatic side chain can enhance target binding affinity and improve metabolic stability of peptide drugs. Animal studies would be performed on the final peptide products. Fmoc-HoPhe-OH is a research reagent for peptide synthesis.

| Cell Assay |
Cell-based protocols are not directly applicable to Fmoc-HoPhe-OH. Homophenylalanine-containing peptides synthesized using this reagent can be tested in cell culture. Peptides are dissolved in DMSO or appropriate buffers, sterile-filtered, and added to cells at 0.1-100 µM. Incubation is for 24-72 hours. Assays include cell viability, proliferation, and specific signaling readouts. The homophenylalanine residue can modulate peptide bioactivity through enhanced hydrophobic interactions.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal studies with Fmoc-HoPhe-OH are not conducted directly. Peptides containing homophenylalanine residues synthesized using this building block may be evaluated in vivo. Protocols involve administration of the peptide via appropriate routes in animal models. Pharmacokinetic sampling, efficacy assessment, and toxicological evaluation follow standard preclinical study designs. The extended aromatic side chain can improve target binding and peptide stability.
