Hyperphenylalaninaemia induced by daily injections of alpha-methylphenylalanine plus phenylalanine caused 20-40% decreases in cerebral dopamine (3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) and noradrenaline in 7- and 11-day-old rats. alpha-Methylphenylalanine alone as well as phenylalanine alone caused cerebral dopamine depletion. However, the effects were not additive

Previous work has shown that incorporation of either 1-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (Ac6c) or alpha-methyl-p-phosphonophenylalanine ((alpha-Me)Ppp) in the phosphotyrosyl (pTyr) C-proximal position (pY + 1 residue) of Grb2 SH2 domain binding peptides confers high affinity. The tetralin-based (S)-2-amino-6-phosphonotetralin-2-carboxylic acid (Atc(6-PO3H2)) simultaneously presents

Brain phenylalanine concentrations at plasma levels raised to that in phenylketonuric subjects were studied in rats from fetal through postnatal life. Suppression of the hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase with alpha methylphenylalanine, and injections of age-adjusted doses of phenylalanine on the next
