Application

Isovaline is primarily used in astrobiology and origin-of-life studies as a marker for extraterrestrial organic material due to its rarity in terrestrial biology. In neuroscience, it has been investigated for its potential neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties, particularly in modulating glycine receptors. Additionally, its chiral properties make it valuable for pharmaceutical research into enantioselective synthesis and drug development.
