Ac-D-Bpa-OH (CAS: 159768-24-0) is a non-natural amino acid derivative, chemically defined as Ac-D-Phe(4-benzoyl)-OH. It serves as a critical photo-affinity probe in peptide chemistry. The core synthesis involves the selective benzoylation of D-phenylalanine residues followed by N-terminal acetylation to ensure stability and specificity.
Store at -20°C under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Handle with appropriate PPE; avoid direct skin contact and inhalation of dust. Not approved for clinical use as a standalone therapeutic agent.
