What is L Phenylalanine?

L-phenylalanine (3-phenyl-L-alanine) is an organic compound with a molecular formula of C9H11NO2 and a molecular weight of 165.19. It is a white crystalline powder. It is mainly used in biochemical research, preparation of culture medium, and nutritional research.

Phenylalanine is D, L-α-aminoβ-phenylpropionic acid, white or colorless flaky crystals, orthorhombic crystal system, with bitter almond flavor, soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, insoluble in Diethyl ether, melting point 283°C. It was first discovered and isolated from lupine seedlings by Schulze in 1879. Then Fischer successfully separated it from animal protein in the early 20th century. At present, phenylalanine can be produced industrially.

What is the Role of L Phenylalanine?

nutritional supplements. One of the essential amino acids. There are almost unlimited amino acids in the protein of most foods. It can be added to baked food. In addition to strengthening phenylalanine, it can react with sugars in the amino-carbonyl group to improve the flavor of food.

biochemical research. Prepare medium. Nutrition Research.

L-phenylalanine is one of the essential amino acids. It is used as a component of nutritional supplements, amino acid infusions and compound amino acid preparations. This product is the raw material of various anticancer drugs and dipeptide sweetness.

amino acid drugs. It is used in amino acid infusion, comprehensive amino acid preparation and nutritional enhancer, and is widely used in the synthesis of new sweetener aspartame (dipeptide methyl ester combined with L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine).

It is the main raw material for the synthesis of aspartame.

1. In the food industry

L-phenylalanine and L-aspartic acid are condensed to form

aspartame (Asparlame, APM), because of its high sweetness (200 times that of sucrose), low calorific value and easy metabolism, it is very suitable for It is used by obese patients and diabetics; it has been widely used in condiments and functional foods, among which L-phenylalanine and several other amino acid processed fortified functional foods can be used as supersonic pilots, astronauts, submarines and deep-water divers health food. L-phenylalanine is used in baked food, on the one hand, it strengthens the amino acid, and it can also react with sugar to produce Maillard reaction, improving the flavor of food. Hershey found that adding phenylalanine, leucine and degraded sugars to unroasted cocoa significantly enhanced the flavor of the cocoa after processing.

2. In the pharmaceutical industry

It is an essential component of medical infusion products, or a raw material or a good carrier for the synthesis of some drugs, such as HIV protease inhibitors, p-fluorophenylalanine, alanine mustard, formyl sarcoid, brain neurotransmitter, etc. Synthetic raw materials; when used as a carrier, it can load anti-tumor drugs into the tumor site, which not only inhibits tumor growth, but also greatly reduces the toxicity of tumor drugs. In addition, it can also be used to prepare the culture medium of medicine.
