For further studies on the structural and conformational requirements of positions 2,3, and 7 in the bradykinin sequence, we replaced the proline residues by the more hydrophobic and conformationally restricted N-methyl-L- and D-phenylalanine (NMF). The biological activities of the new

The direct one-step synthesis of L-phenylalanine methyl ester in an organic-aqueous biphasic system using phenylalanine ammonia lyase (E.C.4.3.1.5, PAL) containing Rhodotorula glutinis yeast whole cells was reported earlier. We report here further optimization of this biotransformation using isolated PAL, when

Monocytes macrophages have negative regulatory effects on many immunologic responses. Depletion of monocytes from peripheral blood using the lysosomotropic agent, L-phenylalanine methyl ester (PME), has been shown to improve lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cell expansion in vitro. A pilot study

Reaction of ADP with amino acid methyl esters mediated by trimethylsilyl chloride in pyridine produced adenosine 5'-phosphoramidates in good yields under mild conditions, it is interesting that nucleophilic attack of amino acid methyl esters only occurred on alpha-phosphorus of ADP.

Many promising therapeutics are currently awaiting their clinical application. Due to their low capability of cell membrane crossing, these compounds do not reach their site of action. One way to overcome this problem might be the fusion of these agents
