| Additional Infomation |
Thioproline is a sulfur-containing amino acid with the structure proline, where the 4-methylene group is replaced by a sulfur atom. It possesses hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and detoxifying properties. Thioproline is a sulfur-containing amino acid, a thiazolidinyl carboxylic acid, and a non-protein α-amino acid; it is also a zwitterion tautomer of thioproline. Timonasic acid has been used in clinical trials for the treatment of HIV infection. Timonasic acid has been reported in Arabidopsis thaliana, Lentinus edodes, and other organisms with relevant data. Timonasic acid is a cyclic sulfur-containing amino acid derivative with potential antitumor and antioxidant activities. Timonasic acid may act on the cell membrane of malignant cells through an unknown mechanism, inducing the reversal of malignant cells to an untransformed state. The drug may also restore contact inhibition, a phenomenon characterized by paracrine inhibition of mitosis after cells reach a critical cell mass, possibly a result of intercellular signaling. Furthermore, timonasic acid may also exert antioxidant effects by releasing cysteine and restoring glutathione concentrations.
Other information: Timonacic is also known as Thioproline, Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, DL-4-Thiazolidinecarboxylic acid, and DL-Thiaproline. The compound is a racemic mixture. It has diverse therapeutic potential, particularly in oncology, liver diseases, and anti-aging research. Its CAS number is 444-27-9. |

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.
