N-Benzoyl-DL-phenylalanine (1) was found to possess hypoglycemic activity. A series of the analogues of compound 1 were prepared and evaluated for their blood glucose lowering activity. Both the steric effects of the phenylalanine moiety and the effects of variations in the acyl moiety were investigated. This study elucidated some of the structure-activity relationships and led to the development of

Small molecule quasiracemates developed with two points of structural difference were prepared using benzoyl leucine and phenylalanine molecular frameworks and CH3/Cl or H/CF3 pendant groups.
