Application
Boc-D-Methioninol (N-Boc-D-methioninol, CAS 91177-57-0) is a chiral, Boc-protected amino alcohol derived from D-methionine, featuring a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the nitrogen. As a versatile building block for peptide synthesis, it enables precise incorporation of D-methioninol into synthetic peptides for protein engineering and mechanistic enzymology. In pharmaceutical research, it serves as a key intermediate for peptidomimetics, prodrugs, and enzyme inhibitors, including methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) inhibitors for anticancer and antimicrobial applications. Its structural similarity to S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) allows modulation of methyltransferases involved in gene expression and cancer progression. Additional applications include bioconjugation, metabolic pathway studies, and analytical standards.
