Product Description
O-Acetyl-N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-threonine is a compound containing both amino and carboxyl groups.
O-Acetyl-N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-threonine (CAS#: 45214-52-6) is a protected amino acid derivative containing both an amino group and a carboxyl group. The molecule features an acetyl group and a dimethylethoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group for the amine. It is a building block widely used in peptide synthesis and modification. This compound allows for selective chemical reactions, ensuring that the amino functionality remains protected during complex synthetic procedures. It is a solid supplied for research use only and is not intended for human use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
O-Acetyl-N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-threonine is not a drug and does not have a defined biological target. Its function is solely chemical: as a synthetic intermediate. The compound is designed to participate in peptide bond formation, where its carboxylic acid group can be activated to react with another amino group. The Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) group on the amine temporarily protects it from unwanted side reactions.
ln Vitro
As a chemical intermediate, this compound does not have an inherent in vitro biological activity. Its value lies in its use for the solid- or solution-phase synthesis of peptides and bioactive compounds. When incorporated into a larger peptide chain, the resulting peptide may possess biological activity. Standard in vitro assays would be performed on the final deprotected peptide, not on this protected building block itself.
ln Vivo
O-Acetyl-N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-threonine is not an active pharmaceutical ingredient and therefore does not have in vivo biological activity. It is used exclusively as a reagent for the chemical synthesis of peptides. Any in vivo biological activity would be associated with the final peptide product synthesized using this building block. This compound itself is not administered in animal studies.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cell-based assays, this compound is used as a reactant in organic synthesis. Standard protocols involve activating its carboxyl group with coupling reagents like HBTU or DCC in the presence of a base such as DIPEA. The reaction is carried out in anhydrous DMF or DCM at room temperature. The progress of the coupling reaction is monitored by TLC or HPLC, and the identity of the product is confirmed by mass spectrometry and NMR.
Cell Assay
This chemical intermediate is not used in cell-based assays directly. It is designed as a starting material for the synthesis of peptides, which are then tested in cell culture. For example, the Boc group is removed using TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) to expose the free amine, and the compound is then coupled with other amino acids to build a longer peptide chain. The final peptide, after deprotection and purification, can be dissolved in DMSO and tested on cells.
Animal Protocol
This compound is not used in animal experiments as a therapeutic agent. It serves as a building block for the synthesis of peptides that may later be tested in vivo. For instance, it can be used to introduce a radio-labeled or chemically modified amino acid into a peptide sequence. The resulting peptide, once purified and validated, could be administered to animals to study its pharmacology or distribution.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a chemical building block, pharmacokinetic (PK) properties have not been determined for this intermediate. The molecule has a molecular weight of 261.27 g/mol and a molecular formula of C11H19NO6. It is soluble in organic solvents like DMSO and dichloromethane, but has low solubility in aqueous solutions. Upon incorporation into a peptide, the PK properties of the final molecule are determined by the peptide's overall structure and charge.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity and safety information for this compound is limited, as it is a chemical reagent for research. Standard safety data sheets classify it for research use only and not for human use. While no specific toxicological data is available, it should be handled with caution in a chemical fume hood using appropriate personal protective equipment (lab coat, gloves, safety glasses). It is not a clinical compound, so no human toxicity data exists.
Additional Infomation
O-Acetyl-N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-threonine is a standard building block in peptide chemistry. The Boc protecting group is acid-labile and can be removed under mildly acidic conditions (e.g., TFA in DCM). The O-acetyl group on the threonine side chain is a protecting group for the hydroxyl moiety and is typically base-labile. This combination of protecting groups allows for orthogonal deprotection strategies in complex peptide synthesis. The compound has no clinical or therapeutic applications on its own.
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.
