| Targets |
The primary target of TPCK is chymotrypsin and other serine proteases that have a specificity for phenylalanine or other large hydrophobic amino acids. It acts as an irreversible inhibitor, forming a covalent bond with the active site histidine residue of the enzyme. This inactivates the enzyme, preventing it from cleaving its substrates. TPCK also inhibits the proteasome and other cysteine proteases at higher concentrations.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~284.21 mM)

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.11 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix well; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 and mix well; finally add 450 μL of physiological saline and adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
