Description of HOAt

HOAt is a coupling reagent that promotes peptide bond formation between carboxylic acids and amines by first reacting with the acid to generate an activated intermediate, which then reacts with the amine to form the amide[1]. The nitrogen at the 7-position in HOAt provides a classic neighboring group effect that can both increase the reactivity and reduce racemization[2]. In combination with 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and N,N′-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), HOAt can be employed to promote the amide-bond-forming step between amino-modified DNA and carboxylic acids during the construction of DNA-encoded combinatorial libraries[3]. HOAt functions as a non-mutagenic pharmaceutical reagent, a common drug impurity and a metal-binding pharmacophore, while also exhibiting pronounced corrosion-inhibition activity toward mild steel[4-5]. HOAt can be used with HOBt in a relay fashion to catalyze the route from α-reducible aldehydes and amines to α-reduced amides[6].

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 saline, 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.
