Product Description
Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH is an alanine analogue.
Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH (CAS 138774-92-2), also known as Fmoc-N-methyl-D-alanine, is an Fmoc-protected N-methylated D-alanine derivative. With a molecular formula of C₁₉H₁₉NO₄ and a molecular weight of 325.36 g/mol, it appears as a white to off-white solid with a melting point of approximately 155°C. This compound is an alanine derivative and belongs to the family of amino acids, specifically a derivative of D-alanine, which is a non-proteinogenic amino acid. Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH is a specialized building block for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), featuring a 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protecting group on the amino terminus and a methyl group attached to the nitrogen atom. The N-methylation introduces a secondary amide bond when incorporated into peptides, which can significantly alter peptide conformation, enhance metabolic stability, and modulate biological activity. The compound is widely used in medical, environmental, and industrial research due to its unique chemical structure and biological activity. It is intended for research use only, not for therapeutic or veterinary 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 month.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As a synthetic intermediate, Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH has no specific biological target. Its role is to provide N-methyl-D-alanine 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 N-methyl group introduces a secondary amide bond when incorporated into peptides, which can significantly alter peptide conformation, enhance metabolic stability, and modulate biological activity. The D-configuration of the alanine residue introduces stereochemical diversity compared to L-alanine, which can be valuable for structure-activity relationship studies. 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.
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 Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH 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 Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH (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 or by quantitative HPLC. Purity is typically ≥98.0% (TLC) or ≥99.5% (Chiral HPLC). 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 Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH. 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.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular) experimental workflow for Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH 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 Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH (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 IUPAC name is (2R)-2-[9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxycarbonyl(methyl)amino]propanoic acid.
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.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not applicable for Fmoc-N-Me-D-Ala-OH. The compound is stored as a powder at -20°C or 4°C.
