Product Description
HCTU is a biochemical compound that can be used as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
HCTU (O-(6-Chloro-1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate, CAS 330645-87-9) is a highly efficient aminium-based peptide coupling reagent. It is a 6-chloro derivative of HBTU and is widely employed in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis. With a molecular formula of C11H15ClF6N5OP and a molecular weight of 413.69, this compound is particularly favored for its superior performance in difficult couplings.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HCTU targets the carboxyl group of amino acids, activating it for amide bond formation. As a coupling reagent, it facilitates peptide synthesis by generating an activated ester that can be attacked by the amino group of another amino acid. Its primary utility is as a chemical reagent in peptide chemistry, not as a compound with a biological target. Comparative studies have shown it gives superior results to TBTU in difficult peptide synthesis, hindered couplings, and cyclizations.
ln Vitro
HCTU
HCTU does not exhibit pharmacological activity in vitro. As a chemical reagent, it is used to facilitate peptide bond formation rather than as a bioactive compound. In vitro studies using this compound focus on its chemical reactivity in peptide synthesis reactions. The reagent is used in high-throughput parallel synthesis and has been employed in the optimization of Glucagon-like Peptide 1 receptor agonists.
ln Vivo
HCTU is not a pharmacologically active compound and does not have defined in vivo activity as a drug. Its primary value is as a chemical reagent in synthetic chemistry, where it serves as a coupling agent for the preparation of peptides and other amide-containing compounds. It is not intended for in vivo administration in any therapeutic context.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for HCTU focus on its chemical properties as a coupling reagent. A standard protocol involves dissolving the reagent in a suitable solvent such as DMF or DCM, along with the carboxylic acid component and an amine. A base such as DIPEA is added, and the reaction is allowed to proceed. The progress of the coupling reaction is monitored by HPLC or TLC. The reagent's efficiency is evaluated by yield and purity of the resulting peptide.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays using HCTU are not performed, as the compound is a chemical reagent used in organic synthesis rather than a bioactive molecule. Its use is confined to the laboratory, where it serves as a coupling agent for the preparation of peptides. It is not designed for cell culture studies.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with HCTU are not conducted, as the compound is a chemical reagent rather than a pharmacologically active agent. Its use is confined to the laboratory, where it serves as a coupling agent for the preparation of peptides.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
HCTU is not a drug candidate, and pharmacokinetic data are not available. As a chemical reagent, it is designed for use in organic synthesis rather than systemic administration. Its use is confined to in vitro synthetic applications.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
HCTU is generally considered to have low toxicity, consistent with its use as a chemical reagent. The compound has a melting point of >185°C. Standard laboratory safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~241.73 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.04 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.4173 mL 12.0863 mL 24.1727 mL
5 mM 0.4835 mL 2.4173 mL 4.8345 mL
10 mM 0.2417 mL 1.2086 mL 2.4173 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
