Boc-Glu-OBzl (N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-L-glutamic acid 1-benzyl ester) is a selectively protected glutamate derivative featuring an N-terminal Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) protecting group and a C-terminal benzyl ester (OBzl) protecting group.
Boc-Glu-OBzl is a fundamental amino acid building block widely employed in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) for the construction of peptides and peptide-based therapeutics. Boc-Glu-OBzl has been extensively used in the synthesis of peptide-based inhibitors targeting human caspases and human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease, both of which demonstrate enzyme inhibitory activity in vitro. Additionally, Boc-Glu-OBzl serves as a standard substrate for Vitamin K-dependent carboxylation assays, reflecting its utility in biochemical research applications. As a selectively protected glutamate derivative, Boc-Glu-OBzl enables researchers to introduce glutamate benzyl ester residues into peptides with precision, facilitating the study of protein interactions and the development of novel therapeutic agents.

Why Cosperpharm?
When your peptide synthesis campaign or drug discovery program demands reliable protected amino acid building blocks, Cosperpharm delivers Boc-Glu-OBzl with the purity, documentation, and supply flexibility that pharmaceutical and biotech researchers require.
Quality that protects your synthesis. The orthogonal protecting groups on Boc-Glu-OBzl are the foundation of your peptide assembly strategy — any impurity in this building block will compromise coupling efficiency and final product purity. Our analytical release protocol includes HPLC purity verification (≥98%), optical rotation confirmation, identity verification by IR, and solubility testing. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets the rigorous demands of Boc SPPS.
Documentation that supports your research and regulatory needs. Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific purity data, optical rotation, and chromatographic traceability. For customers developing peptide-based therapeutics, Cosperpharm provides DMF-ready documentation, stability summaries, and custom quality agreements upon request.
Flexible supply from discovery to production. Cosperpharm supplies Boc-Glu-OBzl across the full range of applications — from gram-scale quantities for medicinal chemistry research and peptide library synthesis, to kilogram-scale batches for preclinical and commercial peptide manufacturing. R&D samples ship within 5–7 business days; bulk orders ship within 2–3 weeks.
Technical expertise in peptide chemistry. Our team understands the nuances of Boc SPPS, including the compatibility of the benzyl ester with various deprotection and cleavage conditions. We can advise on handling protocols, storage optimization, and troubleshooting coupling reactions involving glutamate residues.
Global reach with transparent pricing. Cosperpharm ships to pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and academic research institutions worldwide, with full customs documentation included. Volume discounts apply at larger scales, and we communicate lead times upfront — no hidden fees, no unexpected delays. FAQ
Q1: What does Boc-Glu-OBzl stand for? A: Boc-Glu-OBzl stands for N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-L-glutamic acid 1-benzyl ester. The "Boc" refers to the tert-butoxycarbonyl protecting group on the amino group, "Glu" indicates the glutamic acid backbone, and "OBzl" denotes the benzyl ester protecting group on the α-carboxyl group. Q2: What is the difference between Boc-Glu-OBzl and Boc-Glu(OH)-OBzl? A: They are the same compound. Boc-Glu-OBzl has a free γ-carboxyl group (side-chain carboxyl) and a protected α-carboxyl group (benzyl ester). The notation Boc-Glu(OH)-OBzl is sometimes used to emphasize the presence of the free γ-carboxylic acid. Storage Conditions
Store Boc-Glu-OBzl in a tightly sealed container at −20 °C for long-term storage or at 4 °C for short-term storage. Keep the container dry and protected from moisture. The compound should be stored in a clean, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents and strong acids. Shelf life: 3 years when stored at −20 °C in a sealed container; 2 years when stored at 4 °C. For solutions, storage at −80 °C is recommended for up to 6 months, or −20 °C for up to 1 month. Handling precautions: Use standard laboratory practices for handling fine powders. Avoid generating dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (lab coat, safety goggles, gloves). After handling, wash hands thoroughly. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety information.
