General description

Prolylphenylalanine, a dipeptide composed of proline and phenylalanine, exhibits considerable potential for diverse applications in both biochemical and biomedical research. It is an incomplete breakdown product of protein digestion or protein catabolism, found in urine. In biochemical studies, it serves as a substrate for various enzymes, including dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) and prolylcarboxypeptidase (PCP), shedding light on essential biochemical pathways related to protein digestion and metabolism. Moreover, prolylphenylalanine functions as a versatile tool for exploring protein interactions with other molecules, probing enzyme active sites, and identifying potential drug targets. Furthermore, it can also be used for polypeptide synthesis, where phenylalanine is an aromatic amino acid that can inhibit the activity of Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE, HY-P2983). Within biomedical research, prolylphenylalanine is the focus of extensive exploration as a potential therapeutic agent for a range of conditions, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer′s disease.
