Fmoc-Ala-Ala-OH
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Fmoc-Ala-Ala-OH is a self-assembling fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl dipeptide, a small amphiphilic building block composed of a dipeptide linked to a fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group. Under conditions of pH < 4, Fmoc-Ala-Ala-OH spontaneously assembles to form a nanofiber network, constructing a hydrogel scaffold with a water content exceeding 99% (w/w). The fibers have a diameter of approximately 22 nm, matching the size of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Fmoc-Ala-Ala-OH supports cell adhesion, proliferation, and maintains of cell phenotype. Fmoc-Ala-Ala-OH's function is to mimic the ECM, providing a 3D growth microenvironment for cells, and Fmoc-Ala-Ala-OH is primarily used in tissue engineering and 3D cell culture, particularly suitable for in vitro culture studies of cells such as chondrocytes[1].

Biological Activity
Fmoc-Ala-Ala-OH is a self-assembling fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl dipeptide, primarily used as a biocompatible scaffold material for 3D cell culture. In vitro experiments typically use concentrations of 0.25-1.0% (w/v) (approximately 6.5-26 mM). The stock solution is usually dissolved in DMSO (final concentration <1% to avoid cytotoxicity), and it rapidly self-assembles into a nanofiber hydrogel at physiological pH (7.4). This hydrogel exhibits excellent biocompatibility with various cell types (chondrocytes, fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, etc.), supporting cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation, making it an ideal material for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research[1].

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.
