| Additional Infomation |
5-O-proline is an oxoproline with its oxo group located at the 5-position. It is an intermediate metabolite in the glutathione cycle and plays a role in human metabolism. It is a pyrrolidine monocarboxylic acid, belonging to the pyrrolidine-2-one class of compounds, and is also an oxoproline. It is the conjugate acid of 5-oxoproline. DL-pyroglutamate has been reported to exist in Drosophila melanogaster, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and other organisms with relevant data. It is a cyclized derivative of L-glutamate. Elevated levels of DL-pyroglutamate in the blood may be associated with abnormal glutamine or glutathione metabolism.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (19.36 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
