Product Description
L-Aspartic acid β-hydroxamate is an aspartic acid analogue.
L-Aspartic acid β-hydroxamate (CAS 1955-68-6) is an aspartic acid derivative featuring a hydroxamate group on the β-carboxylate instead of the carboxylic acid. It has a molecular formula of C₄H₈N₂O₄ and a molecular weight of 148.12 g/mol. The compound is an aspartic acid analogue used as a building block in peptide synthesis and as a tool for studying hydroxamate-containing amino acid derivatives. The hydroxamate group can act as a metal chelator, making it useful for studying metalloproteinases and other metal-dependent enzymes. The product is for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As an amino acid derivative, L-Aspartic acid β-hydroxamate does not have a defined primary drug target in the context of therapeutic development. However, as a hydroxamate-containing aspartic acid analogue, it may be used in research to study metalloproteinases, histone deacetylases (HDACs), and other metal-dependent enzymes. Hydroxamates are known to chelate metal ions, particularly zinc, which is essential for the catalytic activity of many enzymes. The compound can serve as a building block for synthesizing peptide-based metalloproteinase inhibitors and as a tool for studying metal ion coordination in biological systems.
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 studies on amino acid derivatives, including this hydroxamate-containing aspartic acid analogue, have demonstrated their capacity to influence the release of anabolic hormones, modulate fuel availability for cellular activity, enhance mental performance under stress-related conditions, and prevent exercise-induced muscle damage. As an aspartic acid hydroxamate derivative, this compound may be used in cell-based assays to investigate metalloproteinase inhibition, HDAC inhibition, and the effects of metal chelation on cellular signaling. The compound can also be utilized in studies examining the role of metal ions in enzyme function and disease.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies on hydroxamate-containing compounds have been conducted for their potential therapeutic applications in cancer, inflammation, and other diseases. As an aspartic acid hydroxamate derivative, this compound may be administered in animal studies to evaluate its effects on metalloproteinase activity, tumor growth, or inflammatory responses. However, specific in vivo pharmacological data for this exact compound remains limited, as it is primarily supplied as a research chemical for peptide synthesis and enzyme inhibition studies rather than as a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based enzyme or receptor binding assays for this compound typically involve studies with purified metalloproteinases (e.g., matrix metalloproteinases, ADAM proteins) or HDACs. Standard protocols include incubating varying concentrations of the test compound with the enzyme source in appropriate buffer systems, followed by measurement of enzymatic activity using fluorometric or colorimetric substrates. The hydroxamate group chelates the catalytic zinc ion, inhibiting enzyme activity. IC₅₀ values can be calculated from dose-response curves. For peptide synthesis applications, the compound is evaluated in coupling reactions.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for this aspartic acid hydroxamate derivative typically utilize cancer cell lines or other cell types to evaluate compound effects on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Standard protocols involve culturing cells in appropriate media at 37°C in 5% CO₂, followed by treatment with varying concentrations of the compound (typically 0.1-100 μM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. The compound's effects on metalloproteinase activity can be studied using zymography or fluorogenic substrates. For peptide synthesis applications, the compound is used as a building block.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for hydroxamate-containing compounds typically involve administration via oral gavage, intraperitoneal injection, or intravenous injection in rodent models (mice or rats). Standard protocols include dosing at ranges of 1-50 mg/kg body weight, with observations over 1-14 days depending on the study objectives. For studies evaluating the effects of metalloproteinase inhibitors on tumor growth or metastasis, xenograft models may be employed. Pharmacodynamic assessments may include blood sampling for compound analysis, tissue collection for histopathological examination, and monitoring of body weight. All animal studies must comply with institutional ethical guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties for this aspartic acid hydroxamate derivative can be inferred from structurally related hydroxamate compounds. As a small molecule (molecular weight 148.12 g/mol), it is expected to have reasonable oral bioavailability. The hydroxamate group may influence the compound's distribution and metabolism. The compound shows moderate solubility in aqueous and organic solvents. For in vivo administration, formulations using suitable vehicles may be employed. The compound should be stored as powder at -20°C for long-term preservation. Definitive PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require formal studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for this specific compound are limited as it is supplied for research use only and not intended for human therapeutic applications. Hydroxamate compounds may have specific toxicity profiles related to metal chelation. Appropriate safety precautions should be observed during handling, including the use of personal protective equipment and work in well-ventilated areas. The compound may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Acute toxicity studies in animal models would be required to establish LD₅₀ values and no-observed-adverse-effect levels. For in vitro cytotoxicity assessment, the compound can be tested in mammalian cell lines using standard MTT or LDH release assays.
