| Targets |
This compound is classified as a phenylalanine analog targeting fluorophenylalanine-recognizing proteins and enzymes. The difluorinated aromatic ring can alter electronic properties, lipophilicity, and metabolic stability compared to natural phenylalanine, making it useful for studying enzyme-substrate interactions, designing protease-resistant peptides, and developing CNS-penetrant therapeutic agents.

|---|---|
| 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 fluorinated phenylalanine derivatives demonstrate increased metabolic stability compared to natural phenylalanine due to fluorine‘s resistance to oxidative metabolism. The fluorine substituents also influence aromatic stacking interactions and hydrogen bonding patterns in protein binding studies, which can enhance binding affinity and selectivity for target enzymes or receptors. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo studies on fluorophenylalanine derivatives in rodent models show prolonged plasma half-life and increased tissue penetration compared to unfluorinated analogs. These compounds have been evaluated for potential applications in oncology and neurology, where fluorination improves blood-brain barrier penetration and reduces hepatic clearance, enhancing drug-like properties.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free enzyme assays for Boc-protected amino acids typically involve protease stability tests. The compound is incubated with purified proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin) in pH 7.4 buffer at 37degC. Aliquots are removed at various time points (0-120 minutes), and cleavage is monitored by HPLC-MS to assess protection afforded by Boc group and fluorine substitutions against enzymatic degradation.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays for phenylalanine analogs use cell lines expressing relevant target proteins. Cells are treated with compound (0.1-500 uM) for 24-72 hours. Assays include cell viability (MTT), reporter gene expression (luciferase), or Western blot analysis of target pathway proteins (phosphorylated kinases, transcription factors) following Boc deprotection as needed for activity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal studies for fluorophenylalanine derivatives typically use male Sprague-Dawley rats for PK studies. Animals receive intravenous administration (1-5 mg/kg) and oral gavage (5-20 mg/kg) with 3-5 animals per time point. Blood samples collected at 0-24 hours are analyzed by LC-MS/MS to determine bioavailability (F%), clearance (CL), half-life (t1/2), and volume of distribution (Vd).
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological profiles of fluorinated amino acids generally show low toxicity. The fluorine substituents do not introduce significant additional toxicity compared to natural amino acids. LD50 typically > 2000 mg/kg in rodents. No mutagenicity observed in standard Ames assays. The Boc protecting group is cleaved under acidic conditions during metabolism, releasing the free amino acid.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.
