Boc-3-(2-Naphthyl)-D-Alanine (Boc-D-2-Nal-OH) is a
Boc-protected amino acid building block for Boc/Bzl SPPS and solution-phase
peptide synthesis. Also known as Boc-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. ApiSyn supplies it within a broad protected amino acid range, so
peptide programmes can source building blocks from one manufacturer.
