Product Description
Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH, a homologue of cysteine, can be synthesized from L-methionine. Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH can also be used for solid-phase peptide synthesis.
Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH (CAS 150281-21-3), also known as (S)-2-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-4-((acetamidomethyl)thio)butanoic acid, is an Fmoc-protected homocysteine derivative featuring an acetamidomethyl (Acm) protecting group on the thiol. With a molecular formula of C₂₂H₂₄N₂O₅S and a molecular weight of 428.50 g/mol, it appears as a solid. This compound is a homologue of cysteine and can be synthesized from L-methionine. Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH is a homocysteine derivative used in solid-phase peptide synthesis using an Fmoc-based strategy. The compound features a 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protecting group on the amino terminus and an acetamidomethyl (Acm) group on the thiol terminus. The Acm group provides protection for the thiol during peptide synthesis and can be removed under specific conditions. Homocysteine is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and cellular metabolism. The compound is intended for research use only and is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As a synthetic intermediate, Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH has no specific biological target. Its role is to provide homocysteine residues in peptide chains with the thiol group protected. The Fmoc protecting group enables standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) workflows. The Acm group provides protection for the thiol during peptide synthesis, preventing unwanted oxidation or side reactions. 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
Compound 1 (Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH) can be employed in solid phase peptide synthesis by the application of a Fmoc-based approach[1].
The in vitro activity of Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH is measured by coupling efficiency in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Typically, it is coupled to resin-bound amine using standard Fmoc-SPPS conditions: deprotection of the resin-bound Fmoc group with 20% piperidine in DMF, followed by coupling with Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH (typically 3-5 equivalents) using coupling reagents such as HATU, HBTU, or DIC with HOBt, and DIEA as base. Coupling efficiency is monitored by the Kaiser test or by quantitative HPLC. Purity is typically ≥98%. No inherent biological activity is observed as the compound is a protected amino acid derivative.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity is not applicable for Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH. The compound is not used in animals and is a research chemical for laboratory synthesis only.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular) experimental workflow for Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH involves standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis procedures. Standard SPPS cycle: deprotect Fmoc with 20% piperidine in DMF (typically 2 × 5-10 minutes), wash with DMF, couple Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH (3 equiv.) with HATU (2.9 equiv.) and DIEA (6 equiv.) for 1-2 hours, wash, repeat. After complete assembly of the peptide sequence, the peptide is cleaved from the resin and deprotected using a cleavage cocktail containing TFA, TIS, and water (typically 95:2.5:2.5) for 2-4 hours. The compound's SMILES is O=C(O)[C@@H](NC(OCC1C2=C(C3=C1C=CC=C3)C=CC=C2)=O)CCSCNC(C)=O.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based experimental workflows are not performed on this intermediate. The final deprotected peptides may be tested in cell-based assays, but the protected compound itself is not used.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not applicable for Fmoc-HoCys(ACM)-OH.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties have not been characterized. The compound is not a drug. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions: powder at -20°C for up to 3 years.

  • 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)
