Product Description
N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine is a FX-type hapten without a CH2S moiety. N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine can be coupled to OVA using the mixed anhydride method. N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine has more heterologous properties.
N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine (β-phthalimidopropionic acid, CAS# 3339-73-9) is a chemical compound featuring a phthalimide group attached to a propionic acid moiety via an amine linkage. This compound is classified as an FX-type hapten that lacks a CH2S moiety. It is used as a hapten for the development of immunoassays, where it can be coupled to carrier proteins such as ovalbumin (OVA) using the mixed anhydride method. It is a solid at room temperature and is intended for research purposes only. It is not a therapeutic agent.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine does not have a direct biological target as it is used as a hapten in immunoassay development rather than as a pharmacologically active compound. Its function is to serve as a small molecule (hapten) that can be conjugated to a larger carrier protein to elicit an immune response for the production of antibodies. It is designed to present a specific chemical structure to the immune system, not to interact with a specific receptor or enzyme in the body. It is an FX-type hapten without a CH2S moiety.
ln Vitro
N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine is not a pharmacologically active compound and does not possess direct in vitro biological activity against any specific target. Its utility is in the field of immunoassay development as a hapten. In vitro, it is used in conjugation reactions to couple with carrier proteins like OVA using the mixed anhydride method. The resulting hapten-protein conjugate is then used to immunize animals or to screen for antibodies in ELISA assays. The compound itself is not evaluated for biological activity.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity is not applicable to N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine as it is not a pharmacologically active compound. Its use in vivo is limited to its role as a hapten in immunization protocols. When conjugated to a carrier protein, it is injected into animals to generate antibodies against the hapten structure. The compound itself is not administered for therapeutic or pharmacological evaluation. Its purpose is to facilitate the production of specific antibodies for research and diagnostic applications. It is not intended for direct biological activity in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable to N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine as it is a hapten used in immunoassay development rather than a drug candidate. The primary in vitro assay involving this compound is the conjugation reaction to carrier proteins. The mixed anhydride method is used to activate the carboxylic acid group of N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine, allowing it to form an amide bond with free amine groups on proteins like OVA. The success of the conjugation is typically verified by UV spectroscopy or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. No receptor binding assays are performed.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are not performed on N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine as it is not a cell-active compound. It is a hapten used in immunoassay development. Its evaluation is limited to chemical purity and its ability to conjugate to carrier proteins. The hapten-protein conjugates may be used in cell-based assays to detect antibodies, but the compound itself is not tested in cell culture for efficacy or toxicity. Handling procedures are based on its chemical properties. It is a solid and is stored at room temperature.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments involving N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine are limited to its use as a hapten for antibody production. The hapten is conjugated to a carrier protein (e.g., OVA) using the mixed anhydride method, and the conjugate is emulsified with an adjuvant and injected into animals (typically rabbits or mice) to generate polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies. The animals are boosted periodically, and blood samples are collected to monitor antibody titers by ELISA. The compound itself is not used in efficacy or pharmacology studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties are not applicable to N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine as it is a research reagent used as a hapten, not a therapeutic agent. The compound is a solid with a molecular weight of 219.19. It is stored as a powder at -20°C for up to three years and at 4°C for up to two years. In solvent, it is stable at -80°C for six months and at -20°C for one month. It is used in chemical conjugation reactions. No ADME studies have been performed.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for N-Phthaloyl-β-alanine are not available as it is a research chemical, not a pharmaceutical drug. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling chemical reagents should be followed. The compound is not intended for human or animal consumption. Its specific toxicity profile has not been established. In the context of hapten-carrier conjugates used for immunization, the conjugates are administered to animals, but the toxicity is typically associated with the adjuvant and the immune response rather than the hapten itself.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • 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)
