Product Description
(S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid is a phenylalanine analogue.
(S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid (CAS 205526-36-9), also known as Fmoc-L-3-cyanophenylalanine or Fmoc-Phe(3-CN)-OH, is an Fmoc-protected non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative. With a molecular formula of C₂₅H₂₀N₂O₄ and a molecular weight of 412.44 g/mol, it appears as a solid. This compound is a phenylalanine derivative featuring a 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protecting group on the amino terminus and a cyano (-CN) group substituted at the meta position of the phenyl ring. Fmoc-L-3-cyanophenylalanine is a valuable building block for Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), enabling the incorporation of 3-cyanophenylalanine residues into peptide sequences. The cyano group introduces unique electronic and steric properties that can significantly alter peptide conformation, enhance binding affinity, and modulate biological activity. The compound is a useful organic compound for life sciences research and is intended for research use only, not for human use. It is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or at 4°C for up to 2 years; in solvent at -80°C for up to 1 year.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As a synthetic intermediate, (S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid has no specific biological target. Its role is to provide 3-cyanophenylalanine residues in peptide chains. The Fmoc protecting group enables standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) workflows, allowing for the controlled assembly of peptide chains. The cyano group at the meta position of the phenyl ring introduces unique electronic and steric properties that can significantly alter the peptide's physicochemical properties and biological activity compared to unsubstituted phenylalanine. The compound does not interact with enzymes or receptors in pharmacological assays. Its "target" is the peptide coupling reaction, where it acts as a protected amino acid donor. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of peptides and peptidomimetics where the incorporation of non-natural amino acids with modified aromatic rings is desired for structure-activity relationship studies.
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].
The in vitro activity of (S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid is measured by coupling efficiency in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Typically, it is coupled to resin-bound amine using standard Fmoc-SPPS conditions: deprotection of the resin-bound Fmoc group with 20% piperidine in DMF, followed by coupling with the compound (typically 3-5 equivalents) using coupling reagents such as HATU, HBTU, or DIC with HOBt, and DIEA as base. The coupling reaction is typically performed at room temperature for 1-4 hours. Coupling efficiency is monitored by the Kaiser test (ninhydrin test) or by quantitative HPLC. Cleavage and deprotection with TFA/TIS/H₂O yield the desired peptide. Purity is typically ≥97%. No inherent biological activity is observed as the compound is a protected amino acid derivative. Amino acids and amino acid derivatives have been commercially used as ergogenic supplements.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity is not applicable for (S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid. The compound is not used in animals and is a research chemical for laboratory synthesis only. It is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Any biological activity that might be observed would be a result of metabolic conversion following deprotection, but such studies are not typically conducted with this protected amino acid. Its utility lies entirely in the chemical synthesis domain rather than in pharmacological evaluation. The compound is stored and handled under standard laboratory conditions for chemical synthesis.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular) experimental workflow for (S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid involves standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis procedures. Standard SPPS cycle: deprotect Fmoc with 20% piperidine in DMF (typically 2 × 5-10 minutes), wash with DMF, couple the compound (3 equiv.) with HATU (2.9 equiv.) and DIEA (6 equiv.) for 1-2 hours, wash, repeat. After complete assembly of the peptide sequence, the peptide is cleaved from the resin and deprotected using a cleavage cocktail containing TFA, TIS, and water (typically 95:2.5:2.5) for 2-4 hours. The crude peptide is precipitated with cold ether, and the product is analyzed by HPLC-MS. The compound's SMILES is OC(=O)[C@H](Cc1cccc(c1)C#N)NC(=O)OCC1c2ccccc2-c2ccccc12.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based experimental workflows are not performed on this intermediate. The final deprotected peptides may be tested in cell-based assays, but the protected compound itself is not used. When the final deprotected peptide is tested, typical assays might include cell viability (MTT assay), apoptosis detection (Annexin V staining), or receptor binding studies depending on the biological target of the synthesized peptide. Cells are typically cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS, treated with peptide concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 µM for 24-72 hours, and read by plate reader or flow cytometry.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not applicable for (S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid. The compound is stored at -20°C for powder and -80°C for solvent. The compound is not formulated for any route of administration. Any in vivo studies would involve the final deprotected peptide products rather than the protected amino acid itself.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of (S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid have not been characterized. The compound is not a drug. No ADME data are available. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions: powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or at 4°C for up to 2 years; in solvent at -80°C for up to 1 year. If administered, the Fmoc protecting group would likely be cleaved metabolically, releasing the free amino acid, but such studies are not conducted with this protected amino acid.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological data for (S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(3-cyanophenyl)propanoic acid are not well-documented. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for human or veterinary applications. No chronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, or reproductive toxicity studies have been conducted, as these are not relevant for a synthetic intermediate.
