D-alanine is an isomer of non-essential L-amino acid. D isomer is found in the cell walls of bacteria, but not in bacterial proteins. It was discovered, that being an endogenous agonist of the glycine site of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, D-alanine can have beneficial effects on schizophrenia.

Route of Administration: Oral
It was studied the effect of D-alanine (10 mM), D-leucine (10 mM), D-methionine (10 mM), D-tryptophan (10 mM), and D-tyrosine (10 uM and 1 mM) on biofilm formation in two commonly studied laboratory strains of P. aeruginosa: PAO1 and PA14. In strains PAO1 and PA14, the addition of D-amino acids did not result in an inhibitory effect on biofilm growth in 24-well plates. Repeating the study in 96-well plates confirmed the findings that D-amino acids do not inhibit biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa. It was concluded that D-amino acids only slow the production of biofilms rather than completely prevent biofilm formation.
