N-Methyl-DL-alanine may be used in studies of amino acid transport mechanisms such as trans-stimulation. N-Methylalanine may be used in the construction of peptide and protein analogues for use in drug or antibiotic design and development.
The actinomycin D (AMD) analogs in which the D-valine residues (the second amino acid residue in the cyclic depsipeptide of AMD) and the N-methyl-L-valine residues (the fifth amino acid residue in the cyclic depsipeptide of AMD) were replaced with D-Phe

1. Epithelial uptake and efflux of the non-metabolized system A analogue 2-methylaminoisobutyric acid (MeAIB) and L-serine were studied in the isolated perfused rat pancreas using a dual tracer loading and wash-out technique. Uptakes of 2-[14C]MeAIB and L-[3H]serine were measured relative
A series of endomorphin-1 (EM-1) and endomorphin-2 (EM-2) analogues, containing non-cyclic amino acids (Ala, D-Ala, beta-Ala, NMeAla, D-NMeAla or Sar) instead of Pro in position 2 was synthesized, where NMeAla = N-methylalanine and Sar = N-methylglycine, sarcosine. The opioid activity

Eight analogues of oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin were synthesized, in which the proline residue in position 7 was replaced by either sarcosine or N-methylalanine; some of the pharmacological properties of these analogues were evaluated. In peptides containing a beta-mercaptopropionic acid residue
[3H]Glycine is actively taken up into bovine isolated adrenal medulla chromaffin cells with the subsequent catecholamine release. [3H]Glycine uptake has two interaction sites based on relative Km measurements. These sites are inherently distinct since the effects of strychnine and temperature
