N-Bromoacetyl-β-alanine is an alkyl chain-derived PROTAC linker utilized for synthesizing PROTACs[1]. Moreover, it serves as a cleavable ADC linker in the production of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)[2].
Lauroyl alanine is a fatty acid amide. It may be used to support the physical gelation of binary mixtures of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents.
Several different arachidonoyl amino acids, including N-arachidonoyl-L-alanine (NALA), have been isolated and characterized from bovine brain. The glycine congener (NAGly) was further characterized and found to suppress formalin-induced pain in rats. NALA may have activity at cannabinoid receptor and/or VR1, but has not been fully characterized to date.
