Application


  • Exposure to synthesized tribromobisphenol A and critical effects: Metabolic pathways, disease signature, and benchmark dose derivation.: This study provides insight into the metabolic pathways and disease signatures associated with exposure to synthesized tribromobisphenol A, emphasizing the critical role of L-alanine in mediating these effects (Kuang et al., 2024).

  • Prenylated indole diketopiperazine alkaloids as phosphatase inhibitors from the marine-derived fungus Talaromyces purpureogenus.: Identifies new prenylated indole diketopiperazine alkaloids from Talaromyces purpureogenus that act as potent phosphatase inhibitors, with L-alanine being key to their structure and bioactivity, offering potential for drug development (Liang et al., 2024).
