N,N-Dimethyl-L-phenylalanine (Cat No.: M080398) is a modified amino acid in which the amino group of L-phenylalanine is dimethylated. This white to off-white crystalline compound retains the chiral center and aromatic side chain of natural phenylalanine, while the dimethylation alters its basicity and steric profile. It is used as a building block in pharmaceutical synthesis, peptidomimetic design, and structure–activity relationship studies. Its modified amine group can influence peptide conformation, metabolic stability, and receptor binding in drug discovery and biochemical research applications.
