3-4-Dehydro-L-proline methyl ester

3,4-Dehydro-L-proline methyl ester hydrochloride is a proline derivative[1].

3,4-Dehydro-L-proline methyl ester is C-terminal blocked 3,4-Dehydro-L-proline (3,4-DHP). 3,4-Dehydro-L-proline is used as a substrate and inhibitor of various enzymes. 3,4-Dehydro-L-proline may be used to inhibit extensin biosynthesis. 3,4-Dehydro-L-proline is a alternate substrate of the amino acid oxidase, NikD. 3,4-Dehydro-L-proline inhibits collagen secretion by chondorcytes.
