| Targets |
Lauroyl alanine does not have a specific biological target. Its mechanism of action is physicochemical. As a surfactant, it reduces the surface tension of water, enabling the emulsification and removal of oils and dirt. Its mildness is attributed to its low irritation potential compared to other anionic surfactants. It is considered a biodegradable and skin-friendly ingredient.

| 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, Lauroyl alanine is evaluated for its surfactant properties, such as surface tension reduction, foaming power, and emulsification capacity. Its mildness is assessed in cell culture models by measuring its cytotoxicity and irritation potential on skin cells. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Lauroyl alanine is used as an ingredient in topical formulations. Its primary function is to cleanse the skin and hair and provide conditioning effects. It is not systemically absorbed and does not exert pharmacological effects.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based assays for Lauroyl alanine include measuring its physicochemical properties, such as surface tension, foaming power, and critical micelle concentration (CMC).
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Lauroyl alanine are performed using skin cell lines to assess its irritation potential. Cells are treated with the surfactant, and cell viability and the release of inflammatory mediators are measured.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal models for Lauroyl alanine are not commonly used, as it is a cosmetic ingredient. Its safety is assessed in human patch tests and clinical studies.
|

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).

| 10 mM | 0.3685 mL | 1.8423 mL | 3.6846 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.
