Fmoc-3-(2-Naphthyl)-D-Alanine (Fmoc-D-2-Nal-OH) is an
Fmoc-protected amino acid building block for Fmoc/tBu solid-phase peptide
synthesis (SPPS). Also known as Fmoc-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.
