Product Description
Tosyl-L-arginine is an arginine analogue.
Tosyl-L-arginine, also known as Nα-Tosyl-L-arginine or Tos-Arg-OH, is an arginine derivative. It features a tosyl (p-toluenesulfonyl) group attached to the guanidino group. With a molecular formula of C13H20N4O4S and a molecular weight of 328.39, it is an arginine derivative. The tosylated guanidino group facilitates its role in synthetic peptide chemistry and enzymatic assays. It is used as a protected arginine derivative in peptide synthesis and as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies. It is intended for research use only.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As an amino acid derivative, Tosyl-L-arginine does not have a defined primary drug target. Its role is as a synthetic intermediate in peptide synthesis and as a research tool in enzymatic assays. Arginine residues are important for protein-protein interactions and enzymatic catalysis. However, the tosylated derivative itself is not known to directly bind to or modulate any specific protein. Its primary utility is in protecting the guanidino group during peptide synthesis.
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 of Tosyl-L-arginine is primarily related to its role as a protected amino acid derivative. It may be used as a substrate or inhibitor for enzymes that recognize arginine, such as trypsin or other proteases. However, its specific in vitro activity has not been extensively characterized beyond its utility in peptide synthesis and enzymatic assays. Amino acid derivatives like this one have been commercially used as ergogenic supplements, but this is not its primary application.
ln Vivo
There is no reported in vivo activity for Tosyl-L-arginine as it is not a drug substance. The compound is used primarily as a research chemical and a synthetic intermediate. It is not administered to animals for pharmacological evaluation. Its role is confined to the laboratory, where it serves as a tool for peptide synthesis and enzymatic studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays could use Tosyl-L-arginine as a substrate for proteases such as trypsin. In such an assay, the compound is incubated with the enzyme, and the cleavage of the tosyl-arginine bond is monitored using HPLC or a colorimetric method. This assay is commonly used to measure protease activity or to screen for inhibitors.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for Tosyl-L-arginine are not typical, as it is primarily used as a reagent for peptide synthesis. However, it could be used in cell-based assays to study the effects of arginine analogs on cellular processes. For example, it could be used to investigate the role of arginine in nitric oxide synthesis or other metabolic pathways.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not performed with Tosyl-L-arginine itself. The compound is a research chemical used exclusively for peptide synthesis and enzymatic studies. It is not administered to animals for pharmacological evaluation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Tosyl-L-arginine have not been characterized as it is not a drug candidate. The compound is intended for research use only. As a synthetic intermediate, its ADME profile is not relevant. The compound is typically stored at room temperature or -20°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile has not been extensively studied. The compound is classified for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed. Specific toxicological information is not available.

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)
