Product Description
L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase.
L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid (L-α-aminooxy-β-phenylpropionic acid; AOPP) is a potent inhibitor of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), an enzyme that catalyzes the deamination of L-phenylalanine to trans-cinnamic acid and ammonia. This compound is widely used in plant biochemistry research to study the phenylpropanoid pathway and lignification processes. With a molecular weight of 181.19 g/mol and high purity (>98%), AOPP serves as a valuable tool for investigating the role of PAL in secondary metabolism and plant defense mechanisms.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid is L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), which it inhibits as a blocker/antagonist. By binding to the active site of PAL, AOPP prevents the conversion of L-phenylalanine to trans-cinnamic acid, thereby blocking the entry point of the phenylpropanoid pathway. This inhibition has downstream effects on the production of lignin, flavonoids, and other phenylpropanoid-derived compounds in plants.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid (10 μM) reduces the proportion of lignified tracheary elements and the lignin content in lignified tracheary elements in Zinnia elegans leaf mesophyll cells. It also causes an increase in ionically tightly bound peroxidase activity. The compound inhibits lignification without reducing the number of tracheary elements formed, indicating a specific effect on the lignification process rather than on cell differentiation.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies have confirmed that L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid acts as a potent inhibitor of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in living plant systems. The compound effectively inhibits lignification in plant tissues, as demonstrated in various plant models. Its in vivo activity makes it a valuable tool for studying the physiological roles of PAL and the phenylpropanoid pathway in whole plants, particularly in relation to lignin biosynthesis and plant defense responses.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular enzyme inhibition assays for L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid typically involve incubating the compound with purified L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) enzyme and its substrate L-phenylalanine. The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the formation of trans-cinnamic acid at 290 nm. IC50 values are determined by testing a range of inhibitor concentrations. These cell-free systems allow for direct assessment of the compound's inhibitory potency without interference from cellular uptake or metabolism.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid are conducted using plant cell culture systems such as Zinnia elegans leaf mesophyll cells. Cells are treated with the compound at concentrations around 10 μM, and the proportion of lignified tracheary elements is quantified microscopically. Lignin content is measured using phloroglucinol-HCl staining or UV absorbance. Peroxidase activity is assayed spectrophotometrically using guaiacol or other substrates.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid are not typically conducted, as the compound is primarily used in plant research. However, it has been studied in plant models where it is administered through the growth medium or by infiltration into plant tissues. The compound inhibits lignification in whole plants, and effects are assessed by measuring lignin content, tracheary element formation, and phenylpropanoid pathway metabolite levels.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid are not well-characterized, as the compound is primarily used in plant research rather than as a therapeutic agent. It is soluble in DMSO (250 mg/mL) and has moderate solubility in aqueous formulations. The compound is stable as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years. For in vivo plant studies, it is typically applied through the growth medium or by infiltration into plant tissues.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for L-2-Aminooxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid are limited, as the compound is not intended for human therapeutic use. It is considered a research chemical with potential toxicity if ingested or absorbed through the skin. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound. It is not approved for human use and should be handled only by trained personnel in appropriate facilities.
