| Targets |
(S)-4-Methyl-2-(methylamino)pentanoic acid hydrochloride does not have a specific therapeutic target. It is a synthetic intermediate, not a pharmacologically active compound. Its "target" in a research context is the specific site within a larger molecule where it is incorporated as a building block. By introducing a methylated amino acid residue, it can alter the properties of the final peptide or peptidomimetic, potentially affecting its interaction with biological targets like enzymes, receptors, or protein-protein interfaces. Its role is structural, not functional.

| 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 compound itself is a chemical intermediate and does not possess intrinsic in vitro biological activity. It is not tested in standard biological assays for effects on cell viability, proliferation, or signaling pathways. Its value is in its utility for synthesizing biologically active molecules. As a building block, it can be used to create peptide analogs with altered properties, such as increased resistance to enzymatic degradation, which are then studied for their biological activity. |
| ln Vivo |
As a synthetic intermediate, (S)-4-Methyl-2-(methylamino)pentanoic acid hydrochloride is not designed for in vivo use and has no reported intrinsic biological activity in animal models. It is not administered to animals for therapeutic or pharmacological testing. Its role is confined to the laboratory as a chemical precursor for the synthesis of more complex molecules that may eventually be studied in vivo.

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).

| 10 mM | 0.5505 mL | 2.7524 mL | 5.5048 mL |
*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.
