Description

L-Cycloserine ((S)-4-Amino-3-isoxazolidone) is an oral inhibitor of the enzyme gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transaminase (GABA-t) and branched-chain transaminases in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. L-Cycloserine has anticonvulsant properties and inhibits the synthesis of neurotensin in mouse brains[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

L-Cycloserine inhibits the growth of M. tuberculosis, with an MIC of 0.3 μg/mL[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

L-Cycloserine (25-50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, single dose) has anticonvulsant effects in mice[2].
L-Cycloserine (30-100 mg/kg, orally or via intraperitoneal injection, twice daily for 5 days) enhances the inhibitory effect on GABA-T activity in mice and boosts its anticonvulsant effects[3].
L-Cycloserine (100-150 mg/kg, subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection, once daily for 1 week) can reduce the brain content of gangliosides by 28% when injected subcutaneously, with no effect on the content of neurogangliosides; intraperitoneal injection leads to decreased levels of gangliosides and cerebrosides[4].
L-Cycloserine (100 mg/kg, subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection, single dose) affects the level of inhibition of 3-keto-dihydrosphingosine synthase depending on the method of injection[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Close-crossed epileptic mice (DBA/2J), normal CBNCa mice[2]
Dosage: 25, 50 mg/kg; single dose
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)
Result: Protected mice from seizures three hours later, and the effects gradually weakened thereafter, with lower concentrations of glutamate and aspartate in the hypothalamus decreasing and γ-aminobutyric acid increasing.
Animal Model: DAB/2mice induced by 3-MPA[3]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg; twice a day; 5 days
30 mg/kg; single dose
Administration: Oral; Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)
Result: Enhanced inhibition of GABA-T activity protected mice from 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA)-induced tonic seizures, and motor performance deficits decreased over time.
Animal Model: Male Swiss mice[4]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg; single dose
Administration: Subcutaneous injection (s.c.); Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)
Result: Showed that 2 hours after intraperitoneal injection, the synthase activity was found to be inhibited by 80%, and subcutaneous injection of L-cycloserine had no significant inhibitory effect on the synthase within 2-48 hours.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (12.24 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (12.24 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
