Ac-D-3-(2-Naphthyl)-Alanine (Ac-D-2-Nal-OH) is an
N-acetyl-protected amino acid used for capped fragments and N-terminally
acetylated peptides. Also known as N-Acetyl-D-2-naphthylalanine. The
D-configuration is widely used to build protease resistance and stability into
peptide drug candidates. Naphthylalanine residues are characteristic of
GnRH-antagonist-type peptides. As ApiSyn also manufactures peptide APIs,
building-block supply can be matched to your peptide scale-up.
