Product Description
N3-L-Val-OH (CHA) is a reagent for click chemistry bearing an azide (N3) moiety, a valine analogue. N3-L-Val-OH (CHA) can also be used as a synthetic intermediate for Valaciclovir (Valacyclovir).
N3-L-Val-OH (CHA), also known as L-azidovaline cyclohexylammonium salt, is a functionalized amino acid derivative used as a reagent in chemistry. It is a valine analog bearing an azide (N3) functional group, which is widely utilized in "click chemistry" reactions, specifically the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The compound is supplied as a salt with cyclohexanamine. Its molecular formula is C11H22N4O2, and its molecular weight is 242.32 g/mol. It serves as a versatile building block for introducing an azide handle into biomolecules or other structures.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
This compound is a chemical reagent and does not have a specific biological target. Its role is in bioorthogonal chemistry. It is also an intermediate in the synthesis of the antiviral drug Valaciclovir (Valacyclovir), which targets viral DNA polymerases.
ln Vitro
This compound is not a drug; its activity is chemical. It possesses a reactive azide group that can participate in CuAAC click chemistry with alkynes under mild, biologically compatible conditions. This reaction is highly specific, fast, and generates stable 1,2,3-triazole linkages, making it a powerful tool for bioconjugation and chemical biology.
ln Vivo
Specific in vivo activity data for this azido-valine compound is not provided. As a synthetic intermediate or a chemical biology probe, it is generally incorporated into larger molecules (like peptides or polymers) or used to modify a drug. These resulting conjugates or final products may have in vivo activity, but the reagent itself is not administered as a therapeutic.
Enzyme Assay
An assay for this compound is not a biological receptor-binding assay but a chemical purity and reactivity test. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is used to assess its purity (>98% typical). For functional testing, an analytical click chemistry reaction can be performed. The compound is reacted with a model alkyne (e.g., propargyl alcohol) in the presence of a copper (I) catalyst. The reaction progress is monitored by LC-MS to confirm the formation of the expected triazole product, verifying the integrity of the azide group.
Cell Assay
Cellular experiments would not be performed with this compound alone, as it has no biological activity. Instead, it could be used to modify a cell-permeable peptide. A typical protocol involves conjugating a peptide containing an alkyne to N3-L-Val-OH using CuAAC. The resulting peptide-triazole-valine conjugate is then purified and added to cells. The experiment would then assay for a biological effect related to the peptide (e.g., cellular uptake), confirming the utility of the conjugation method.
Animal Protocol
Information on specific in vivo animal experimental protocols for this compound is not applicable. A compound containing an azide for click chemistry would not be administered to an animal without first being conjugated to its target molecule. The in vivo study would be performed on the final conjugate, using animal models appropriate for the specific disease target (e.g., cancer).
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) data is not relevant for this reagent. If used as an intermediate in valacyclovir synthesis, the PK properties of the final drug are well-characterized, but they do not apply to the intermediate itself. The compound's chemical stability in various solvents is its primary property for research use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity data for this specific building block is not provided. Standard safety assessments would categorize it based on its functional groups; alkyl azides can be potentially explosive when concentrated, though small molecules are usually handled safely in solution. It is for research use only and not intended for human consumption.

Additional Infomation
This compound is an azido-analog of the amino acid L-valine. The presence of the azide group makes it a key building block for bioorthogonal chemistry, allowing biomolecules to be labeled or modified without interfering with native biological processes. The cyclohexylamine (CHA) salt form improves its stability and handling as a solid.

  • 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)
