Product Description
DL-Pyroglutamic acid, as a hepatitis B surface inactivator, can inactivate vaccinia virus, herpes simplex virus and influenza virus in addition to poliovirus. DL-Pyroglutamic acid is also a possible aminobutyric acid (GABA) aminotransferase inhibitor, increases GABA content and has anti-epileptic effects.
DL-Pyroglutamic acid (also known as DL-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid) is a cyclized form of glutamic acid that exists as a racemic mixture of D- and L- enantiomers. It is found naturally in E. aureum and is a metabolite of glutamic acid. The compound has the molecular formula C5H7NO3 and a molecular weight of 129.11. It appears as a white powder to crystal and is soluble in water (5.67% at 20°C), ethanol, and acetone.

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 Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (774.53 mM)
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.)

5 mM 1.5491 mL 7.7453 mL 15.4907 mL
10 mM 0.7745 mL 3.8727 mL 7.7453 mL

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

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)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
