Product Description
Timonacic (1,3-Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid) is used as an adjuvant to study acute illness and liver disease. It has also been used to study some cancer cases by inducing reversal.
Timonacic (CAS: 444-27-9) also known as 1,3-Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, is a racemic mixture of thioproline. It is a cyclic sulfur amino acid derivative with potential antineoplastic and antioxidant activities. Timonacic is a derivative of proline, a cyclic nonessential amino acid. It is a research molecule of interest with potential antineoplastic activities by acting on the cell membrane of tumor cells and causing reverse transformation to normal cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Timonacic is the cell membrane of tumor cells. It acts through an unknown mechanism, inducing the reversal of malignant cells to an untransformed state. The compound may also have immunomodulatory properties.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Timonacic has been shown to have potential antineoplastic activity. It acts on the cell membrane of tumor cells, potentially causing reverse transformation to normal cells. The compound's activity has been confirmed in various in vitro models.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Timonacic has been used as an adjuvant in the treatment of acute and hepatic disorders. Its immunomodulatory properties can assist in supporting the immune response and promoting healing in these conditions. The compound has also been used for the treatment of some cases of cancer, through the induction of the reverse transformation.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding assays for Timonacic are not commonly performed, as it does not have a single specific target. Its activity is assessed in cell-based assays rather than direct enzyme inhibition studies. The compound's ability to induce reverse transformation is studied by measuring changes in cell behavior and markers of malignant transformation.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Timonacic are performed using tumor cell lines. Cells are treated with the compound, and the effects on cell morphology, proliferation, and transformation are assessed. The compound's ability to induce reverse transformation to normal cells is evaluated.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Timonacic are limited. The compound has been used in research as an adjuvant in the treatment of acute and hepatic disorders. However, specific detailed protocols for in vivo studies are not well-documented. The compound is typically administered orally or intravenously in preclinical studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of Timonacic indicate that it has a molecular weight of 133.17 and a molecular formula of C4H7NO2S. It is a white to off-white solid. Storage at 2-8°C in a refrigerator is recommended. The compound is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology (toxicology) data for Timonacic are limited. As a cyclic sulfur amino acid derivative, it is generally considered safe at moderate doses. However, its safety profile in the context of therapeutic use requires further evaluation. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use.

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.

  • 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)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
