Inhibition of rat liver tryptophan pyrrolase activity and elevation of brain tryptophan concentration by administration of DL-alpha-amino-beta-pyridinepropanoic acid (pyridylalanine) analogs.

J. Enzym. Inhib. 2(1) , 57-66, (1987)

Single doses of DL-alpha-amino-beta-(2-pyridine)propanoic acid (2-PA, 100 mg/kg) significantly decreased the holoenzyme and apoenzyme activities of rat liver tryptophan pyrrolase (TP) and increased brain tryptophan, serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindole-3-ylac...

Synthesis of 3-(3-pyridyl)- and 3-(3-benzo[b]thienyl)-D-alanine.

Int. J. Pept. Protein Res. 29(1) , 118-25, (1987)

The DL-arylamino acid ethyl ester derivatives of beta-(3-pyridyl)-DL-alanine, and beta-(3-benzo[b]thienyl)-DL-alanine were synthesized by diethyl acetamidomalonate condensation with the respective arylmethyl halides followed by partial hydrolysis to the monoe...
