| Targets |
This compound does not have a specific biological target; it functions as a chemical building block for organic synthesis. As a serine analogue, it is used to introduce O-methylserine residues into peptides and other molecules. The methoxy group replaces the hydroxyl group of serine, altering the hydrogen bonding capacity and hydrophobicity of the amino acid residue.

| 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 intermediate. Amino acids and their derivatives have been commercially used as ergogenic supplements affecting anabolic hormone release. |
| ln Vivo |
This compound is not administered in vivo as a therapeutic agent. It is a research chemical utilized as a building block in organic synthesis. The final synthetic product, not this intermediate, would be the subject of in vivo pharmacological testing for therapeutic efficacy and safety.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable as this compound is not biologically active. Its use is in organic synthesis. A typical protocol involves its use as a starting material in peptide coupling reactions or as a chiral building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules, where the amino and carboxylic acid groups can be selectively functionalized.
|
| Cell Assay |
This compound is not used in cell-based assays. Its applications are in synthetic chemistry. It should be stored as a powder at room temperature. It is typically stored as a solid and is stable under recommended storage conditions. It is soluble in water and common organic solvents.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments do not involve this compound as a test article. It is a chemical intermediate used in the synthesis of drug candidates. If used to synthesize a therapeutic compound, that final product would be subjected to animal testing. The methoxylated serine itself is not administered to animals as a test compound.
|

| Additional Infomation |
O-methyl-DL-serine is an α-amino acid.
2-Amino-3-methoxypropanoic acid (DL-O-Methylserine) is a useful building block for the synthesis of modified peptides and peptidomimetics. The O-methylation of serine removes the hydrogen bonding donor capacity of the hydroxyl group, which can be used to probe the role of serine residues in protein function. It is not a pharmaceutical. |

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).

*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.
