Product Description
Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH is a phenylalanine analogue useful in compound synthesis.
Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH is an Fmoc-protected, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a para-bromo substituent on the phenylalanine aromatic ring. It serves as a cornerstone building block in Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) for the introduction of 4-bromophenylalanine residues. The Fmoc group enables controlled chain elongation under basic conditions, while the aryl bromide provides a versatile handle for post-synthetic modifications such as cross-coupling reactions.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH is a synthetic building block for peptide synthesis and does not have a specific biological receptor target. Its primary application is in the preparation of brominated phenylalanine-containing peptides for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, protein-protein interaction research, and biomaterial development. The para-bromo substituent can modulate peptide hydrophobicity and enable halogen bonding interactions in target binding studies.
ln Vitro
In vitro activity of Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH is not applicable as a standalone biological agent. It functions as a peptide synthesis reagent rather than a directly bioactive compound. Peptides synthesized using this building block can be evaluated for various biological activities including enzyme inhibition, receptor modulation, and antimicrobial effects. The brominated phenylalanine residue can enhance target binding through halogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH as a standalone compound are not applicable, as it is a research building block for peptide synthesis. Brominated phenylalanine-containing peptides synthesized using this reagent may be evaluated in animal models for therapeutic applications. The D- or L-configuration and halogen substitution can influence peptide stability and bioactivity in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
Standard SPPS protocols for Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH involve activation with coupling reagents such as HATU or HBTU (1 equiv) and DIPEA (2 equiv) in DMF, followed by coupling to resin-bound peptides. Fmoc deprotection is achieved using 20% piperidine in DMF. Coupling efficiency is monitored by HPLC or Kaiser test. Purity is typically ≥98.0% by HPLC. The compound has a molecular weight of 466.32 g/mol and melting point of 151.5°C.
Cell Assay
Cell-based protocols are not directly applicable to Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH as it is a peptide synthesis building block. Brominated phenylalanine-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 concentrations of 0.1-100 µM. Incubation is typically 24-72 hours. Assays include cell viability (MTT), proliferation, apoptosis, and specific signaling pathway readouts.
Animal Protocol
Animal studies with Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH are not conducted directly as it is a research building block. Peptides containing 4-bromophenylalanine residues synthesized using this compound may be evaluated in vivo. Protocols involve administration of the peptide via appropriate routes (IV, IP, PO) in animal models. Pharmacokinetic sampling, efficacy assessment, and toxicological evaluation follow standard preclinical study designs. The brominated residue can influence peptide stability and target binding.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH as a standalone compound are not applicable. The compound has a molecular weight of 466.32 g/mol, formula C₂₄H₂₀BrNO₄, and density of 1.459 g/cm³. It is soluble in standard SPPS solvents like DMF. Storage is recommended at 2-8°C. The Fmoc group is removed under basic conditions during peptide synthesis.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Limited toxicity data is available for Fmoc-Phe(4-Br)-OH as it is a research chemical. The compound has an Aquatic Chronic 4 hazard classification. Standard safety precautions for handling Fmoc-protected amino acids should be observed. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use. Store as powder at 2-8°C. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn when handling.

  • 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)
