| Targets |
L-Aspartic acid-15N does not have a specific biological target itself, as it is an isotopically labeled compound. However, its unlabeled counterpart, L-aspartic acid, is a non-essential amino acid that plays a role in the urea cycle, the citric acid cycle, and the synthesis of other amino acids. It is a precursor for the synthesis of asparagine, arginine, lysine, methionine, threonine, and isoleucine. It also acts as a neurotransmitter.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
L-Aspartic acid-15N is not typically used for in vitro activity studies in the same way as pharmacologically active compounds. However, it is used as a tracer in metabolic studies to investigate the metabolism of aspartic acid in cells. It is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of other 15N-labeled compounds. The labeled compound allows for the tracking of the nitrogen atom through metabolic pathways.
|
| ln Vivo |
As a labeled compound, L-Aspartic acid-15N is not used for in vivo activity studies as a therapeutic agent. However, it is used as a tracer in metabolic studies in vivo to investigate the metabolism of aspartic acid and the fate of its nitrogen atom. It can be administered to animals to study the incorporation of nitrogen into various metabolites and tissues.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
L-Aspartic acid-15N is not typically used in enzyme/receptor binding assays. However, it may be used as a substrate in enzyme assays to study the activity of enzymes that utilize aspartic acid, such as aspartate transaminase or asparagine synthetase. The labeled compound allows for the sensitive detection of the reaction products by mass spectrometry.
|
| Cell Assay |
L-Aspartic acid-15N is not used in cell-based assays as a bioactive compound. However, it may be used as a tracer in cell-based metabolic studies. Cells are cultured with the labeled compound, and the incorporation of the 15N label into various metabolites is measured by mass spectrometry. This allows for the study of aspartic acid metabolism and nitrogen flux in cells.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies using L-Aspartic acid-15N are typically conducted as metabolic tracing studies. The labeled compound is administered to animals, and the distribution of the 15N label in various tissues and metabolites is measured. This allows for the study of aspartic acid metabolism and nitrogen balance in vivo.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
L-Aspartic acid-15N has a molecular formula of C4H7NO4 (with 15N) and a molecular weight of 134.10. The CAS number is 3715-16-0. The compound is typically supplied as a solid and should be stored according to the manufacturer's recommendations. It has an isotopic purity of 98 atom % 15N or higher.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of L-Aspartic acid-15N is similar to that of unlabeled L-aspartic acid, as it is a stable isotope-labeled amino acid. L-Aspartic acid is a naturally occurring amino acid that is generally recognized as safe. The labeled compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for therapeutic use in humans. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed.

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.
