Product Description
Boc-D-Glu-OtBu (N-Boc-D-glutaMic acid 1-tert-butyl ester) is an amino acid derivative with a Boc protecting group, which can be used to synthesize Adamant-1-yl tripeptide with immunostimulatory activity.
Boc-D-Glu-OtBu (N-Boc-D-glutamic acid 1-tert-butyl ester, CAS 73872-71-6, MW 289.33, MF C14H2₅NO₆) is an amino acid derivative with orthogonal Boc and tBu protecting groups. It is a key building block for solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis, used to incorporate D-glutamic acid residues into peptides. The Boc group protects the N-terminus, while the tert-butyl ester protects the side chain gamma-carboxyl group, allowing selective deprotection.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The compound has no biological target; it is a synthetic intermediate. Peptides containing D-Glu residues (the D-enantiomer of glutamic acid) are resistant to proteolytic degradation and can be used to improve peptide stability in vivo. Derivatives of this compound (e.g., adamant-1-yl tripeptide) have immunostimulatory activity. It is also used in the synthesis of peptide-based therapeutics and peptidomimetics.
ln Vitro
Not applicable; the compound is a building block, not directly active. The final peptide products may have various biological activities (e.g., immunostimulatory, antibacterial, or anti-inflammatory). For example, an adamant-1-yl tripeptide synthesized from Boc-D-Glu-OtBu can activate immune cells and stimulate cytokine production.
ln Vivo
Not applicable; the building block is not administered. The final peptide may be evaluated in animal models for efficacy (e.g., immune stimulation, cancer therapy).
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable; the compound is used in peptide synthesis, not in binding assays. For quality control, purity is assessed by HPLC (>98%). The compound is characterized by ¹H NMR (Boc: 1.44 ppm, tBu: 1.47 ppm, glutamic acid side chain CH2CH2 at 2.2-2.5 ppm), ¹3C NMR, and mass spectrometry (m/z 290 [M+H]+). Specific rotation: [alpha]2⁵ᴅ = -19.0deg (c=1, DMF). For SPPS, the Boc group is removed with 50% TFA in DCM (1-2 h), and the tert-butyl ester is removed with 95% TFA (2-4 h) or with TFA/TIS/H2O (95:2.5:2.5). Selective deprotection of the N-terminal Boc is possible without affecting the side chain tBu ester. The compound is soluble in DCM, DMF, and DMSO.
Cell Assay
Not applicable; used in chemical synthesis, not in cell-based assays. The final peptide may be tested in cells for immunostimulatory activity (e.g., cytokine production in PBMCs, activation of dendritic cells).
Animal Protocol
Not applicable; the building block is not administered to animals. The final peptide is evaluated in animal models for efficacy (e.g., vaccine adjuvants, anti-cancer therapy).
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Not applicable; not intended for in vivo administration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Low toxicity. May cause skin and eye irritation. Use PPE. Not a drug.

Additional Infomation
Boc-D-Glu-OtBu is a research-grade amino acid derivative for solid-phase peptide synthesis. It is not an FDA-approved drug. The D-enantiomer of glutamic acid confers proteolytic stability to peptides, making this building block valuable for the synthesis of peptide-based therapeutics, immunostimulatory peptides, and peptidomimetics.

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
