| Targets |
As a synthetic intermediate, S-tert-Leucine N-methylamide has no specific biological target. Its role is to provide tert-leucine residues in peptide chains with the C-terminus protected as a methylamide. The tert-butyl side chain of tert-leucine introduces significant steric bulk, which can be used to induce conformational constraints in peptides. The methylamide group can be used as a handle for further derivatization or for solid-phase synthesis. The compound does not interact with enzymes or receptors in pharmacological assays. Its "target" is the peptide coupling reaction, where it acts as a protected amino acid donor.

| 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].
The in vitro activity of S-tert-Leucine N-methylamide is measured by coupling efficiency in peptide synthesis. Typically, it reacts with resin-bound or free amines using standard coupling reagents such as HATU, HBTU, or DCC. Coupling yields are typically high with this building block. Purity is assessed by HPLC (≥98%). No inherent biological activity is observed as the compound is a protected amino acid derivative. Amino acids and amino acid derivatives have been commercially used as ergogenic supplements. The compound's LogP is -0.22, indicating low lipophilicity. |

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).

*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.
