| Targets |
Boc-Cys(NPys)-OH is classified as a protected amino acid and cysteine analogue. It does not have a specific biological receptor target. Its primary application is as a building block for introducing cysteine residues with orthogonal side-chain protection during Boc-based SPPS. The NPys group provides protection for the thiol that can be selectively removed.

| ln Vitro |
Commercial ergot supplements have been made from amino acids and their derivatives. They affect the release of anabolic hormones, the availability of fuel for activity, the ability to think clearly under pressure, and the prevention of muscular damage brought on by exertion. They are regarded as advantageous synergistic food ingredients [1].
In vitro activity for Boc-Cys(NPys)-OH is primarily as a peptide synthesis reagent. Amino acid derivatives have been commercially studied as ergogenic supplements, affecting the release of anabolic hormones, fuel availability, mental performance, and prevention of muscular damage. Boc-Cys(NPys)-OH itself is not directly biologically active; its utility is in preparing cysteine-containing peptides for subsequent biological evaluation. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for Boc-Cys(NPys)-OH as a standalone compound is not applicable. It is a protected amino acid building block used in research and is not intended for direct in vivo administration. Peptides synthesized using this building block may be evaluated in animal models for various biological activities. The protecting groups are typically removed before biological testing.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro SPPS protocols for Boc-Cys(NPys)-OH involve standard Boc chemistry. The compound is activated with coupling reagents and coupled to a growing peptide chain on resin. Boc deprotection is achieved with TFA. The NPys group can be removed by reduction with DTT or TCEP. Purity is typically high.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based protocols are not directly applicable to Boc-Cys(NPys)-OH as it is a protected amino acid derivative. Cysteine-containing peptides synthesized using this reagent can be tested in cell culture after deprotection. Peptides are dissolved in DMSO or appropriate buffers and added to cells at concentrations of 0.1-100 µM for 24-72 hours.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal studies with Boc-Cys(NPys)-OH are not conducted directly. Peptides containing cysteine residues synthesized using this building block may be evaluated in vivo. Protocols involve administration of the peptide via appropriate routes in animal models. Pharmacokinetic sampling, efficacy assessment, and toxicological evaluation follow standard preclinical study designs.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

| 10 mM | 0.2664 mL | 1.3318 mL | 2.6637 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.
