4-Iodo-L-phenylalanine may be used in protein engineering as a model unnatural α amino acid to alter primary amino acid composition via the opal (UGA) codon.
The Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of ferrocene alkyne derivatives as metal probes to iodophenylalanine containing peptides is described. 4-Iodophenylalanine was incorporated into dipeptides and the neuropeptide [Leu5]-enkephalin (Enk) by solid phase peptide synthesis, thereby creating a functional group suitable for the

A variety of unique codons have been employed to expand the genetic code. The use of the opal (UGA) codon is promising, but insufficient information is available about the UGA suppression approach, which facilitates the incorporation of non-natural amino acids

This work describes the synthesis and the tumor affinity testing of no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) p-[(124)I]iodo-L-phenyalanine ([(124)I]IPA) and n.c.a. p-[(131)I]iodo-l-phenyalanine ([(131)I]IPA) as radiopharmaceuticals for imaging brain tumors with PET and for radionuclid-based therapy, respectively. Parameters for labeling were optimized with regard to

In vitro in the R1M cell model and in vivo in the R1M tumour-bearing athymic model, both [(123)I]-2-iodo-L: -phenylalanine and [(123)I]-2-iodo-D: -phenylalanine have shown promising results as tumour diagnostic agents for SPECT. In order to compare these two amino acid

Radioactive amino-acids accumulate in gliomas even with an intact blood-brain-barrier. L-3-[(123)I]-iodo-alpha-methyl-tyrosine (IMT) is well established for SPECT imaging of gliomas. Recently, we introduced p-[(123)I]-iodo-L-phenylalanine (IPA) for the characterisation of brain lesions. This study compares both tracers in glioma patients. Eleven
