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. |

| 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.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.68 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
