Description of 1,1’-Ethylidene-bis-(L-tryptophan)

1,1’-Ethylidene-bis-(L-tryptophan) is a potential impurity found in commercial preparations of L-tryptophan.1 It increases the proliferation of EoL-3 eosinophilic leukemia cells, release of eosinophil cationic protein from isolated human peripheral blood eosinophils, and IL-5 production in isolated human T cells.2 1,1’-Ethylidene-bis-(L-tryptophan) (40 µg/kg) induces fascia thickening and increases mast cell infiltration, inflammation, and fibrosis in superficial adipose and panniculus carnosus tissues in mice as a model system of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome.3

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
