Over the past decade, L-homophenylalanine is extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry as a precursor for production of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, which possesses significant clinical application in the management of hypertension and congestive heart failure (CHF). A number of

Immune response suppressors are used in the medical praxis to prevent graft rejection after organ transplantation and in the therapy of some autoimmune diseases. Cyclolinopeptide A, naturally existing immunomodulatory peptide, was modified with homophenylalanine in positions 3 (4), 4 (5)

A new and convenient stereocontrolled synthesis of the optically pure (S)-alpha-methyl,alpha-amino acids 6(a-d) that exploits the chiral synthon 1,4-N,N-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]-piperazine-2,5-dione (1) is described. The (S)-1-phenylethyl group, bonded to each of the N-atoms of the 2,5-diketopiperazine, acts as a chiral inductor in

L-Homophenylalanine (L-HPA) and N(6)-protected-2-oxo-6-amino-hexanoic acid (N(6)-protected-OAHA) can be used as building blocks for the manufacture of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. To synthesize L-HPA and N(6)-protected-OAHA simultaneously from 2-oxo-4-phenylbutanoic acid (OPBA) and N(6)-protected-L-lysine, several variants of Escherichia coli aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) were

A dihydropyrimidinase gene (pydB) was cloned from the moderate thermophilic Brevibacillus agri NCHU1002 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified dihydropyrimidinase exhibited strict d-enantioselectivity for D,L-p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin and D,L-5-[2-(methylthio)ethyl]hydantoin, and non-enantiospecificity for D,L-homophenylalanylhydantoin (D,L-HPAH). The hydrolytic activity of PydB was enhanced
