D-Phenyl-d5-alanine

D-Phenylalanine, the stereoisomer of L-Phenylalanine (P319415) has been used in the synthesis of Schaeffer’s acid analogues as important structures in tuberculostatic design. They exhibit the ability to inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis type II dehydroquinase. This is the labeled analog.

D-Phenylalanine-d5 can be intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of Phenylalanine by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry,
