A steroisomer of the proteinogenic amino acid L-threonine.

D-Threonine is a steroisomer of the proteinogenic amino acid L-threonine. D-threonine is an important organic chiral source, mainly used in the fields of chiral drugs, chiral additives, chiral auxiliaries, etc., as a chiral source for chiral synthesis in the pharmaceutical industry. As an optically active organic acid, it has an irreplaceable role in the asymmetric synthesis of certain chiral compounds. It is mainly used to produce new broad-spectrum antibiotics, D-threonine, and threonine protection in peptide synthesis.

ChEBI: An optically active form of threonine having D-configuration.

Threonine, pronounced three-uh-neen is one of nine essential amino acids your body needs to function properly. Aiding in maintaining healthy skin, teeth, collagen, elastin, and muscle tissue, it also helps with digestion, metabolism and preventing fat buildup in the liver. Threonine has been used to treat intestinal disorders and indigestion and can be used to help those suffering from depression and anxiety.
