Uses and synthesis of D-Alanine powder

D-Alanine powder is a chiral amino acid. D-Alanine is a colorless crystalline solid that is soluble in water and acids. It is acidic and basic, and can also be used as an organic acid. D-Alanine is white or white like crystal or crystalline powder; It has an aroma. Easily soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, acetone or ether; Soluble in lmol/L hydrochloric acid solution. Alanine, chemically known as 2-aminopropionic acid, is an aliphatic non-polar alpha-amino acid. Alanine is a non-essential amino acid and glycogenic amino acid in human body.

Functions of D-Alanine powder

Bacterial Cell Wall: D-Alanine is an important component of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan and is essential for maintaining the structure and integrity of bacteria.

Certain Peptide Antibiotics: Some peptide antibiotics contain D-Alanine, which helps them resist degradation by proteases.

Neurotransmitter Regulation: In mammals, including humans, D-Alanine is found in the brain and is considered a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. It has been found to activate the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, an important receptor involved in learning, memory, and neurodevelopment.

Metabolites: D-Alanine can also be present as a product of certain metabolic processes.

Benefit of D-Alanine powder

Pain Management: Some studies have shown that D-alanine may have analgesic effects, especially in chronic pain. It may reduce the transmission of pain signals by regulating the activity of NMDA receptors.

Schizophrenia: There are studies exploring the possibility of D-alanine as an adjunct treatment for schizophrenia. NMDA receptor dysfunction is believed to be one of the pathological mechanisms of schizophrenia, and D-alanine may improve some symptoms by regulating the function of this receptor.

Neuroprotective Effects: Some studies suggest that D-alanine may have neuroprotective effects and can help resist neuronal damage.

Production methodprocess of D-Alanine powder

A common preparation method is to catalyze the chiral reaction by enzymatic method. D-Alanine powder can also be obtained by chiral separation of alanine.
