What is L-Phenylalanine C9H11NO2 63-91-2

 

 

L-phenylalanine is a type of amino acid. Amino acids are molecules that combine to form proteins. L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid in humans, meaning that the body cannot synthesize its own L-phenylalanine. Instead, humans must get phenylalanine from the foods they eat. L-phenylalanine is a component in several important proteins and enzymes. For example, the body can convert phenylalanine into tyrosine, which it then uses to synthesize the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. L-phenylalanine also plays a role in the production of other important amino acids.

Tyrosine, a different amino acid involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, has also been demonstrated to increase in response to L-phenylalanine.

Enhancing Joint Health

It has been demonstrated that L-phenylalanine enhances joint health. The amino acid works by minimizing pain and inflammation. It has also been demonstrated that L-phenylalanine raises levels of collagen, a protein important for the health of joints.

 

Dosage and Supplements

 

There are many different ways to get l-phenylalanine, including capsules, tablets, powder, and syrup. Depending on why L-Phenylalanine is being supplemented, different doses should be taken. The dosage range for mood enhancement is 500–2000 mg per day. 250–500 mg per day is advised for increased mental clarity and focus. 500–2000 mg per day is advised for lowering anxiety and stress. 500–1000 mg per day is advised for better joint health.

 

 

Side Effects of L-Phenylalanine

For the majority of people, L-phenylalanine is generally well tolerated and safe. However, some individuals may experience negative effects such as nausea, anxiety, and headaches. People with phenylketonuria (PKU) or other conditions that affect amino acid metabolism should use L-phenylalanine with caution. When taking drugs that lower dopamine levels, people should use L-phenylalanine cautiously.

Tyrosine, a different amino acid involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, has also been demonstrated to increase in response to L-phenylalanine.

 

From What Foods Can you Get L-phenylalanine?

Meat and Poultry: Beef, chicken, pork, and turkey are excellent sources of L-phenylalanine.

Fish: Fish such as salmon, tuna, and cod are rich in L-phenylalanine.

Eggs: Eggs are a good source of L-phenylalanine, providing this amino acid along with other essential nutrients.

Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products contain significant amounts of L-phenylalanine.

Soy Products: Tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and other soy-based products are high in L-phenylalanine, making them a good option for vegetarians and vegans.

Legumes: Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas are plant-based sources of L-phenylalanine.

Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds provide L-phenylalanine along with healthy fats and other nutrients.

Whole Grains: Whole grains like quinoa, oats, and wheat contain moderate amounts of L-phenylalanine.

Seaweed: Certain types of seaweed, such as spirulina, are also good sources of L-phenylalanine.

 

Production Methods

 

 

In previous large-scale production processes for L-phenylalanine two enzymatic methods were applied:


》Resolution of N-acetyl-D,L-phenylalanine by carrier-fixed microbial acylase: This process provided pharmaceutical-grade L-phenylalanine, but suffered from the disadvantage that the D-enantiomer had to be racemized and recycled.

 

》Stereoselective and enantioselective addition of ammonia to trans-cinnamic acid, catalyzed by L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5): PAL-containing Rhodotorula rubra was used in an industrial process to supply L-phenylalanine for the first production campaign of the sweetener aspartame. When continuously operated in an immobilized whole cell reactor, the bioconversion reached concentration up to 50 g/L Lphenylalanine at a conversion of about 83%. Other processes started from phenylpyruvate with L-aspartic acid as amine donor using immobilized cells of Escherichia coli or from a-acetamidocinnamic acid and immobilized cells of a Corynebacterium equi strain. In both cases L-phenylalanine concentrations up to 30 g/L and more (molar yields as high as at least 98 %) were reached.

However, fermentation processes based on glucose-consuming L-phenylalanine overproducing ;mutants of E. coli and coryneform strains turned out to be more economical. L-Phenylalanine is formed in ten enzymatic steps starting from erythrose-4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate. A suitable profile of the specific glucose feed rate prevents acetate formation and leads to improved L-phenylalanine production with a final concentration up to 46 g/L and a corresponding yield of 18 %.

L-Phenylalanine is recovered from the fermentation broth either by two-step crystallization or by an ionexchange resin process. The preferred cell separation technique is ultrafiltration; and the filtrates may be treated with activated carbon for further purification. Instead of ion-exchange resins nonpolar, highly porous synthetic adsorbents are recommended to remove impurities. An alternative process in which a cell separator is integrated in the fermentation part, thus allowing cell recycling, was suggested for L-phenylalanine production and may lead to prospective developments.

 

Possible Interactions
 

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors: Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are an older class of antidepressants drugs that are rarely used now. They include phenelzine (Nardil), isocarboxazid (Marplan), and tranylcypromine sulfate (Parnate). Taking phenylalanine while taking MAOIs may cause a severe increase in blood pressure (hypertensive crisis). This severe increase in blood pressure can lead to a heart attack or stroke. People taking MAOIs should avoid foods and supplements containing phenylalanine.

 

Baclofen: L-phenylalanine may reduce absorption of baclofen (Lioresal), a medication used to relieve muscle spasms. Avoid taking Baclofen with a meal, especially one that is high in protein, or with phenylalanine supplements.

 

Levodopa: A few case reports suggest that L-phenylalanine may reduce the effectiveness of levodopa (Sinemet), a medication used to treat Parkinson disease. Some researchers think L-phenylalanine may interfere with the absorption of levodopa and worsen the person's condition.

 

Selegiline: L-phenylalanine and the selective MAO inhibitor selegiline (Eldepryl, Deprenyl) may strengthen the antidepressant effects of phenylalanine. They should not be taken together.

 

Antipsychotic or neuroleptic drugs: L-phenylalanine may worsen TD, a side effect of these neuroleptic drugs. These drugs include phenytoin (Dilantin), valproic acid (Depakene, Depakote), and carbamazepine (Tegretol), among others.

 

Uses of L-Phenylalanine
 

Parkinson disease

One animal study suggests that L-phenylalanine may improve rigidity, walking disabilities, speech difficulties, and depression associated with Parkinson disease. However, there is no evidence yet whether it would have the same effect in humans. More research is needed.

 

 

Vitiligo

Preliminary studies suggest that L-phenylalanine (oral and topical) strengthens the effect of UVA radiation for people with vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition where irregular depigmentation (loss of color) causes white patches of skin. L-phenylalanine may lead to some darkening or repigmentation of the white patches, particularly on the face. However, more research is needed to see whether L-phenylalanine is truly effective.

Depression

Studies suggest that L-phenylalanine may be helpful as part of a comprehensive therapy for depression, most of the studies were done in the 1970s and 1980s and were not rigorously tested. People have reported that their mood improved when they took L-phenylalanine. Researchers think this is because phenylalanine increases production of brain chemicals, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. Other studies suggest that elevated L-phenylalanine concentrations are linked to mood swings. More research is needed to tell whether L-phenylalanine has any real effect on depression.

Dietary Sources

L-phenylalanine is found in most foods that contain protein, including beef, poultry, pork, fish, milk, yogurt, eggs, cheese, soy products (including soy protein isolate, soybean flour, and tofu), and certain nuts and seeds. The artificial sweetener aspartame is also high in L-phenylalanine.

Effects of L-phenylalanine on Electroencephalogram

Phenylketonuria, an inherited biochemical defect that results in an inability to oxidize L-phenylalanine to tyrosine, leading to elevated levels of phenylalanine in the blood and urine, has long been known. However, the pathogenic mechanism of this brain abnormality is unclear. In vitro studies have shown that abnormal metabolites of L-phenylalanine in phenylketonuria inhibit dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), 5-hydroxytryptophan, and glutamate decarboxylase. High levels of one or more amino acids prevent cells from capturing or utilizing other amino acids. L-phenylalanine has been shown to interfere with the intracellular accumulation of tyrosine in vivo. Structural defects in myelin sheaths in the brains of patients with phenylketonuria have also been described. As well as decreased levels of cerebrosides in the white matter.

 

L-Phenylalanine Selectively Depresses Currents at Glutamatergic Excitatory Synapses

 

 

To explore the hypothesis that L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) depresses glutamatergic synaptic transmission and thus contributes to brain dysfunction in phenylketonuria (PKU), the effects of L--phenylalanine on spontaneous and miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (s/mEPSCs) in rat and mouse hippocampal and cerebrocortical cultured neurons were studied using the patch-clamp technique.

 

L--phenylalanine depressed the amplitude and frequency of both N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA components of glutamate receptor (GluR) s/mEPSCs. The IC(50) of L--phenylalanine to inhibit non-NMDAR mEPSC frequency was 0.98 +/- 0.13 mM, a brain concentration seen in classical PKU. In contrast, D--phenylalanine had a significantly smaller effect, whereas L-leucine, an amino acid that competes with L-Phe for brain transporter, had no effect on mEPSCs. Unlike GluR s/mEPSCs, GABA receptor mIPSCs were not attenuated by L--phenylalanine. A high extracellular concentration of glycine prevented the attenuation by L--phenylalanine of NMDAR current, activated by exogenous agonist, and of NMDAR s/mEPSC amplitude, but not of NMDAR s/mEPSC frequency.

 

On the other hand, L--phenylalanine significantly depressed non-NMDAR current activated by low but not high concentrations of exogenous agonists. Glycine-independent attenuation of NMDAR s/mEPSC frequency suggests decreased presynaptic glutamate release caused by L--phenylalanine, whereas decreased amplitudes of NMDAR and non-NMDAR s/mEPSCs are consistent with competition of L--phenylalanine for the glycine- and glutamate-binding sites of NMDARs and non-NMDARs, respectively. The finding that GluR activity is significantly depressed at conditions characteristic of classical PKU indicates a potentially important contribution of impaired GluR function to PKU-related mental retardation and provides important insights into the potential physiological consequences of impaired GluR function.

 

 
FAQ
 
 

Q: How does L-phenylalanine excess cause CNS dysfunction?

A: The high plasma L-phenylalanine concentrations increase phenylalanine entry into brain and restrict the entry of other large neutral amino acids. Emphasis has been on high brain L-phenylalanine as the pathological substrate that causes mental retardation.

Q: What happens when there is too much L-phenylalanine in the body?

A: As a result, this amino acid can build up to toxic levels in the blood and other tissues. Because nerve cells in the brain are particularly sensitive to phenylalanine levels, excessive amounts of this substance can cause brain damage.

Q: Does L-phenylalanine increase dopamine?

A: L-Phenylalanine can boost levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. And can help a sluggish thyroid produce more T4 and T3. L-Phenylalanine can help boost cognition especially in stressful situations.

Q: Is L-phenylalanine safe?

A: L-Phenylalanine is an amino acid in plant and animal foods, such as meat, eggs, fish, and soy products. It is safe for most people, except for those with phenylketonuria, who may not be able to break it down. L-Phenylalanine is an amino acid found in many foods.

Q: Is L-phenylalanine in the blood brain barrier?

A: As previously mentioned, L-phenylalanine is partially metabolized to tyrosine, l-dopa, and then to catecholamines. The residual portion of L-phenylalanine can cross the blood brain barrier to the brain by competitive binding with neutral amino acid transporters (NAAT).

Q: Can I take L-tyrosine and L-phenylalanine together?

A: Adults should consume tyrosine and L-phenylalanine combined in an amount equal to 14 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. The two substances are combined because they work together in your body.

Q: Does L-phenylalanine affect the brain?

A: During late childhood, elevated L-phenylalanine can cause alterations in neurological functioning, leading to ADHD, speech delay and mild IQ reduction. In adolescents and adults, executive function and mood are affected, with some of the abnormalities reversed by better control of L-phenylalanine levels.

Q: What is the difference between dl phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine?

A: L-phenylalanine and DL-phenylalanine have distinct advantages that can be harnessed to offer personalized treatment approaches for patients in clinical practice. While LPA's role as an appetite suppressant may be beneficial in weight management, DLPA carries both analgesic and mood-enhancing properties.

Q: What are the benefits of L-phenylalanine?

A: Major dietary sources of L-phenylalanine include meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and milk. L-phenylalanine is used for depression, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, alcohol withdrawal symptoms, and a skin disease called vitiligo.

Q: Does L-phenylalanine increase serotonin?

A: Dietary L-phenylalanine lowers the concentration of serotonin in rat brain and liver, probably resulting from in vivo inhibition of the decarboxylation of serotonin. No such effect was obtained in animals fed a high tyrosine diet.

Q: Who should not take L-phenylalanine?

A: You also should avoid the supplement if you have a sensitivity to L-phenylalanine or a condition in which your body can't break down phenylalanine such as phenylketonuria (PKU). And use caution in taking L-phenylalanine if you have: High blood pressure. Trouble sleeping.

Q: Does L-phenylalanine cause weight gain?

A: The L-phenylalanine amino acid is an essential amino acid that is important for growth and development as well as the production of several neurotransmitters and hormones. Some studies suggest this amino acid could promote weight loss, reduce chronic pain and protect against depression.

Q: What does L-phenylalanine do for the body?

A: Your body uses L-phenylalanine to make proteins and other important molecules. It has also been studied as a treatment for several medical conditions, including skin disorders and depression.

Q: What does L-phenylalanine do for ADHD?

A: Some research suggests that patients with ADHD have lower levels of amino acids such as phenylalanine, so there was hope that providing phenylalanine might treat ADHD. However, taking phenylalanine by mouth does not seem to have any effect on ADHD symptoms.

Q: Is L-phenylalanine the same as aspartame?

A: L-Phenylalanine is an important amino acid used for the synthesis of L-aspartame, the artificial sweetener that is 200 times sweeter than sugar and used by diabetic people.

Q: Does L-phenylalanine cause hair loss?

A: L-phenylalanine, like the other essential amino acids, is pivotal in the production of certain molecules and amino acids, which can support and improve hair health. Phenylalanine, in particular, is a crucial precursor for tyrosine, which is an amino acid significantly contributing to healthy hair growth.

Q: What is the half life of L-phenylalanine?

A: L-phenylalanine is quickly distributed to all tissues after being quickly absorbed from the digestive system. Tyrosine, a product of the metabolism of L-phenylalanine, is used to make dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. L-Phenylalanine has a 2-3 hour half-life.

Q: Does L-phenylalanine raise blood sugar?

A: Conclusion: In summary, phenylalanine in an amount moderately greater than that in a large protein meal stimulates an increase in insulin and glucagon concentration. It markedly attenuates the glucose-induced rise in plasma glucose when ingested with glucose.

Q: Does L-phenylalanine help with depression?

A: DLPA (or the D- or L- form alone) reduced depression in 31 of 40 people in a preliminary trial. Some doctors suggest a one-month trial with 3–4 grams per day of phenylalanine for people with depression, although some researchers have found that even very low amounts-75–200 mg per day-were helpful in preliminary trials.

Q: Is L-phenylalanine the same as L tyrosine?

A: Phenylalanine and Tyrosine. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid meaning that it cannot be made in the body and must be ingested in the diet. Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid and can be formed by the hydroxylation of phenylalanine in the liver when the intake of tyrosine in the diet is low.
