DL-3-(4-Fluorophenyl)alanine may be sensitive to exposure to light. A fluorinated amino acid. This is a neutral to slightly acidic material. DL-3-(4-Fluorophenyl)alanine may react as an organic amine or acid, although, its reactivity is moderated considerably by the presence of the other group.
SYMPTOMS: DL-3-(4-Fluorophenyl)alanine is a phenylalanine antagonist and may cause inhibition of protein synthesis.
Flash point data for DL-3-(4-Fluorophenyl)alanine are not available; however, DL-3-(4-Fluorophenyl)alanine is probably combustible.
Inhibits mitosis and reversibly arrests HeLa cells in G2.
