    In Vivo

    L-Aspartic acid is shown to be a suitable prodrug for colon-specific drug deliverly[1]. L-[3H]Asp remaining in the brain at 5 min is increased by 206 and 178% by preadministration of 100 mM L-Aspartic acid and 100 mM L-Glu, respectively, whereas 100 mM D-Asp does not affect L-[3H]Asp efflux transport. That value for L-[3H]Glu at 20 min is increased by 145 and 156% by coadministration with 100 mM L-Aspartic acid and 100 mM L-Glu, respectively, but not by D-Asp. It is interesting that the apparent efflux rate of L-Aspartic acid across the BBB is sevenfold faster than that of L-Glu[2].

    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.
