Description

p-Ethynylphenylalanine (4-Ethynyl-L-phenylalanine) is a potent, selective, reversible and competitive inhibitor of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), with a Ki of 32.6 μM[1]. p-Ethynylphenylalanine is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

IC50 & Target

Ki: 32.6 μM (TPH)[1]

In Vitro

p-Ethynylphenylalanine selectively and reversibly inhibits the biosynthesis of serotonin[1].
? p-Ethynylphenylalanine has a low affinity for various recombinant 5-HT receptors (5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT4, 5-HT5, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7)[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

p-Ethynylphenylalanine (30 mg/kg; i.p.) decreases in 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels in the rat midbrain but not in tissue[1].
? p-Ethynylphenylalanine does not inhibit the aromatic amino acid decarboxylase[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (200 g)[1]
Dosage: 30 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection
Result: Decreased in 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels in the rat midbrain.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
