Boc-L-beta-Homoleucine
Boc-L-beta-Homoleucine (CAS#: 132549-43-0) is a protected beta-amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis. It has a molecular formula of C12H23NO4 and a molecular weight of 245.32. It is the N-Boc protected form of L-beta-homoleucine, containing a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the amino group and a free carboxylic acid. It is a research reagent for solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis, enabling the incorporation of beta-amino acid residues into peptides. It is not a therapeutic drug.
| Targets |
Boc-L-beta-Homoleucine has no biological target. It is a synthetic building block used in organic chemistry and peptide synthesis. The Boc group protects the amino functionality during coupling reactions and is removed under acidic conditions. The beta-amino acid scaffold introduces conformational constraints into peptides, which can modulate their biological activity, stability, and receptor selectivity. It does not interact with enzymes or receptors directly.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No biological activity data (IC50, EC50) are applicable to Boc-L-beta-Homoleucine as it is a protected amino acid building block. Its purity and enantiomeric excess are characterized by HPLC, NMR, and chiral chromatography. It is used as a reagent for incorporating beta-homoleucine into peptides. The resulting peptides may exhibit enhanced proteolytic stability and altered conformational properties.

| ln Vivo |
No in vivo therapeutic activity is applicable to Boc-L-beta-Homoleucine. It is not administered to animals or humans as a therapeutic. It is a reagent used in the synthesis of peptides that may be evaluated in biological studies. No pharmacokinetic, efficacy, or toxicity data are available for this building block.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cell applications, Boc-L-beta-Homoleucine is used in peptide synthesis. The carboxylic acid is activated using coupling reagents such as HATU, HBTU, or DIC/HOBt in the presence of a base. The activated species is reacted with the N-terminus of a growing peptide chain. The Boc group is removed with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Reaction progress is monitored by Kaiser test or HPLC.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
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).

Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] Oral Formulations

| 10 mM | 0.4076 mL | 2.0382 mL | 4.0763 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.
