Synonyms: (3,5)-difluoro Phe-ψ-Ala
Compound class:
Peptide
Comment: A dipeptide probe that can be radiolabelled with the [19F] isotope to study peptide transporters [1]. Alternate probes were tested in this study by Arakawa et al. (2020). The L-phenylalanyl-ψ[CS-N]-L-alanine dipeptide backbone is resistant to cleavage by peptidases.
