Incorporation of L-[2-2H]phenyl-[2-2H]alanine and L-phenyl-[2-13C, 15N]alanine into cytochalasin D by Zygosporium masonii involved the complete loss of both the alpha-2H- and the alpha-15N-atom. Incorporation of a mixture of L-phenyl-[15N]alanine and L-[U-14C]phenylalanine into cytochalasin D and protein amino acids (phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine) was accompanied by a substantial loss of 1...

A new series of isoxazole tethered quinone-amino acid hybrids has been designed and synthesized involving 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction followed by an oxidation reaction using cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN). Using this method, for the first time various isoxazole tethered quinone-phenyl alanine and quinone-alanine hybrids were synthesized from simple commercially available 4-bromobenzyl bro...

Intramolecular interactions of the functional groups, carboxylic acid, amino, and phenyl in L-phenylalanine have been revealed through inner shell chemical shift. The chemical shift and electronic structures are studied using its derivatives, 2-phenethylamine (PEA) and 3-phenylpropionic acid (PPA), through substitutions of the functional groups on the chiral carbon C(alpha), i.e., carboxylic ac...

New N,N-disubstituted β-amino acids and their derivatives with thiazole, aromatic, and heterocyclic substituents were synthesized from N-phenyl-N-thiocarbamoyl-β-alanine by the Hantzsch method; derivatives with hydrazone fragments were also obtained. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited discrete antimicrobial activity, and 3-[(4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)(phenyl)amino]propanoic ac...
