| Targets |
This compound does not possess a specific biological target; its primary function is as a chemical building block for peptide synthesis and as an organic intermediate. As a D-alanine derivative, it is used to introduce D-alanine residues into peptides. The ethyl ester modification provides increased lipophilicity and membrane permeability, facilitating cellular transport in biochemical studies. The hydrochloride salt enhances solubility and stability.

| 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].
This compound is not a biological agent and does not exhibit direct in vitro biological activity in a pharmacological sense. Its value lies in its chemical utility as a protected amino acid building block. Amino acids and their derivatives have been commercially used as ergogenic supplements. Any biological activity would reside in the final deprotected peptide product synthesized using this building block, not in the protected intermediate itself. |
| ln Vivo |
D-Alanine ethyl ester hydrochloride is not administered in vivo as a therapeutic agent. It is a research chemical utilized as a building block in peptide synthesis and as an organic intermediate. The final deprotected peptide product, not this protected intermediate, would be the subject of in vivo pharmacological testing. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary therapeutic applications.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable to this compound as it is not biologically active. Its use is in organic synthesis and peptide chemistry. A typical protocol involves its use as a building block in peptide synthesis, where the ethyl ester can be hydrolyzed to reveal the free carboxylic acid for coupling with other amino acids using standard coupling reagents.
|
| Cell Assay |
This compound is not used in cell-based assays as a therapeutic agent. Its applications are in synthetic chemistry and peptide synthesis. It should be stored in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed container, away from oxidizing agents. Purity is typically ≥98-99% (HPLC). The product is for research purposes only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments do not involve D-Alanine ethyl ester hydrochloride as a test article. It is a chemical intermediate used in the synthesis of peptide-based drug candidates. If a researcher synthesizes a therapeutic peptide using this building block, that final deprotected and purified peptide product would be subjected to animal testing for pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and toxicity. The protected amino acid itself is never administered to animals as a test compound.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties are not applicable to this compound as it is not a drug. It is a small molecule (MW 153.61 g/mol) with the formula C5H11NO2·HCl. Its properties are relevant for chemical handling and storage rather than for systemic exposure studies. The compound is not designed to be bioavailable, as the ethyl ester protecting group is intended to be removed during peptide synthesis to yield the final active peptide product.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity of D-Alanine ethyl ester hydrochloride is not extensively documented, as it is a research chemical not intended for human or veterinary use. As with all amino acid derivatives, standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed, including handling in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment. It should be stored in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed container, away from oxidizing agents. It is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
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).
