Product Description
β-Chloro-D-alanine HCl is an alanine analogue.
β-Chloro-D-alanine hydrochloride (CAS 51887-88-8) is a chlorinated alanine derivative featuring a chlorine substituent at the β-carbon and is supplied as the hydrochloride salt. It has a molecular formula of C₃H₇Cl₂NO₂ and a molecular weight of 160.00 g/mol. The compound is a chlorinated alanine analogue used as a building block in peptide synthesis and as a tool for studying halogenation effects on amino acid properties. The product is for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. As a chlorinated alanine derivative, it allows for the modification of peptide properties including lipophilicity and reactivity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As an amino acid derivative, β-Chloro-D-alanine hydrochloride does not have a defined primary drug target in the context of therapeutic development. However, as a chlorinated alanine analogue, it may be used in research to study amino acid metabolism, enzyme-substrate interactions, and peptide stability. The chlorine substituent can modulate the compound's physicochemical properties, lipophilicity, and reactivity. The D-configuration may influence the compound's interactions with enzymes and receptors compared to the L-enantiomer. The compound can serve as a building block for synthesizing chlorinated peptides and as a tool for studying halogenation effects in biological systems.
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 studies on amino acid derivatives, including this chlorinated alanine analogue, have demonstrated their capacity to influence the release of anabolic hormones, modulate fuel availability for cellular activity, enhance mental performance under stress-related conditions, and prevent exercise-induced muscle damage. As a chlorinated alanine derivative, this compound may be used in cell-based assays to investigate amino acid transport mechanisms, peptide stability, and the effects of chlorination on peptide biological activity. The compound can also be utilized in studies examining the role of halogenation in enzyme recognition and protein function.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies on amino acid derivatives have shown that 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. As a chlorinated alanine analogue, this compound may be administered in animal studies to evaluate the effects of halogenated amino acids on biological systems. However, specific in vivo pharmacological data for this exact compound remains limited, as it is primarily supplied as a research chemical for peptide synthesis rather than as a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based enzyme or receptor binding assays for this compound typically involve studies with purified enzymes to evaluate the effects of chlorination on enzymatic activity. Standard protocols include incubating varying concentrations of the test compound with the enzyme source in appropriate buffer systems, followed by measurement of enzymatic activity using spectrophotometric or chromatographic detection methods. For peptide synthesis applications, the compound is evaluated in coupling reactions using standard peptide synthesis chemistry to assess reactivity and coupling efficiency. The hydrochloride salt form enhances solubility.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for this chlorinated alanine derivative typically utilize mammalian cell lines to evaluate compound uptake, cytotoxicity, and effects on cellular metabolism. Standard protocols involve culturing cells in appropriate media at 37°C in 5% CO₂, followed by treatment with varying concentrations of the compound (typically 0.1-100 μM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. For peptide synthesis applications, the compound is used as a building block for synthesizing chlorinated alanine-containing peptides.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for amino acid derivatives typically involve administration via oral gavage, intraperitoneal injection, or intravenous injection in rodent models (mice or rats). Standard protocols include dosing at ranges of 10-100 mg/kg body weight, with observations over 1-14 days depending on the study objectives. For studies evaluating the effects of chlorinated amino acids, animals may be administered the compound and monitored for changes in metabolic parameters or toxicity. Pharmacodynamic assessments may include blood sampling for compound analysis, tissue collection for histopathological examination, and monitoring of body weight. All animal studies must comply with institutional ethical guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties for this chlorinated alanine derivative can be inferred from structurally related compounds. As a small molecule (molecular weight 160.00 g/mol), it is expected to have reasonable oral bioavailability. The chlorine substituent may influence the compound's lipophilicity and metabolic stability. The hydrochloride salt form enhances aqueous solubility. For in vivo administration, formulations using suitable vehicles may be employed. The compound should be stored as powder at -20°C for long-term preservation. Definitive PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require formal studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for this specific compound are limited as it is supplied for research use only and not intended for human therapeutic applications. Chlorinated compounds may have altered toxicity profiles due to the presence of chlorine. Appropriate safety precautions should be observed during handling, including the use of personal protective equipment and work in well-ventilated areas. The compound may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Acute toxicity studies in animal models would be required to establish LD₅₀ values and no-observed-adverse-effect levels. For in vitro cytotoxicity assessment, the compound can be tested in mammalian cell lines using standard MTT or LDH release assays.

Additional Infomation
β-Chloro-D-alanine hydrochloride is a chlorinated alanine derivative featuring a chlorine substituent at the β-carbon. D-Amino acid-containing peptides can exhibit increased resistance to proteolysis and altered biological activities compared to their L-counterparts. This compound is used as a building block in peptide synthesis for introducing chlorinated alanine residues into peptide sequences. It is not an approved drug and has not undergone clinical trials; it is strictly for research purposes.
