Amino acids are highly relevant in biological pathways and for protein and enzyme structures or for the synthesis of neurotransmitter. An essential amino acid is L-phenylalanine (Phe). The use of fluorinated amino acids are of great interest in medical chemistry and diagnostics especially for the investigation of amino acid metabolism, protein structures and protein-ligand interactions. The disadvantage of low spin density in vivo can be overcome by hyperpolarization methods like Parahydrogen Induced Polarization. We present the hyperpolarization of a bisfluorinated phenylalanine derivative and studies of the interaction between Phe and lower case Greek beta -cyclodextrin.
