L(-)-Proline

L-Proline is an amino acid. The conjugation of L-proline with imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL)-modified magnetic nanoparticles forms a catalyst that can be magnetically recovered and employed in direct asymmetric aldol reaction. The solubility and stability of ezetimibe (EZT) has been reported to enhance on cocrystallization with L-proline.

L-Proline has been used:


  • As a supplement during the preparation of chondrogenic medium and synthetic dextrose minimal medium (SD).
  • As a standard during the identification of metabolites in serum samples.
  • In a study to prepare L-proline-L-phenylalanine (L-Pro-L-Phe) mixture in aqueous acetonitrile.


Soluble in alcohol and water (40 mg/ml-clear, colorless solution); insoluble in ether, butanol isopropanol.


The amino acid L-Proline is unique among the 20 amino acids normally found in proteins because it is the only imino acid among them. The side chain is bonded to both the α-carbon and nitrogen atoms, giving a secondary amino group in the structure, and thus its characterization as an imino acid. In vivo, proline is both synthesized from and degraded to glutamate, with glutamate γ-semialdehyde and Δ-pyrroline-5-carboxylate as intermediates, by separate pathways.
