| Targets |
Boc-Leu-OH.H2O is classified as a protected amino acid and does not have a specific biological receptor target. Its primary application is as a building block for introducing leucine residues into peptides during Boc-based SPPS. The Boc group provides temporary N-terminal protection that can be removed under acidic conditions for controlled peptide chain elongation.

| 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-Leu-OH.H2O is primarily as a peptide synthesis reagent. Amino acid derivatives have been commercially studied as ergogenic supplements, influencing the secretion of anabolic hormones, fuel availability, mental performance, and prevention of muscle damage. Boc-Leu-OH.H2O itself is not directly biologically active; its utility is in preparing leucine-containing peptides for subsequent biological evaluation. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for Boc-Leu-OH.H2O 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 Boc protecting group is typically removed before biological testing.

| Cell Assay |
Cell-based protocols are not directly applicable to Boc-Leu-OH.H2O as it is a protected amino acid derivative. Leucine-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-Leu-OH.H2O are not conducted directly. Peptides containing leucine 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.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.81 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 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.

*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.
