Product Description
1-Benzyl 2-methyl (2R,4R)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate is a proline derivative.
(4R)-1-Cbz-4-hydroxy-D-proline methyl ester (CAS 155075-23-3) is a protected chiral amino acid derivative used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It features a Cbz (benzyloxycarbonyl) protecting group on the nitrogen, a methyl ester on the carboxylate, and a hydroxyl group at the 4-position. It is primarily utilized in the synthesis of peptidomimetics, bioactive molecules, and proline-based catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
This compound has no specific biological target; it is a chemical building block. The Cbz group is removable by hydrogenolysis to expose the free amine, while the hydroxyl group can be further functionalized. In medicinal chemistry, proline derivatives often interact with prolyl oligopeptidases or other proline-recognizing enzymes, but the protected form is inert until deprotected.
ln Vitro
Amino acids and amino acid derivatives have been commercially used as ergogenic supplements. They influence the secretion of anabolic hormones, supply of fuel during exercise, mental performance during stress related tasks and prevent exercise induced muscle damage. They are recognized to be beneficial as ergogenic dietary substances[1].
Not applicable directly; however, the deprotected form (4-hydroxy-D-proline) can exhibit biological activity. For example, 4-hydroxyproline is a component of collagen and can inhibit prolyl hydroxylase (IC50 ~1-10 mM). This protected ester is not tested for such activity. Its "activity" is chemical-serving as a substrate in peptide coupling reactions (e.g., with HATU, DCC) to yield peptides or small molecule conjugates.
ln Vivo
No direct in vivo activity. The compound is a synthetic intermediate and is not administered to animals. When used in drug discovery, it is incorporated into larger molecules that are then tested in vivo. Its role is to introduce stereochemistry and functional handles. It is not a therapeutic agent itself.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular assay for optical purity: Chiral HPLC using a Chiralpak AD-H column (4.6 × 250 mm) with hexane/isopropanol (80:20) mobile phase at 1 mL/min, UV detection at 220 nm. The enantiomeric excess is calculated by comparing peak areas of the (4R)- and (4S)-isomers. The compound can also be hydrolyzed to the free amino acid and derivatized with Marfey's reagent for chiral amino acid analysis.
Cell Assay
Not used in standard cell culture. For intermediate validation, it can be added to human hepatocyte (HepG2) medium (10-100 uM, 24 h) to assess cytotoxicity (MTT assay) as part of safety screening for synthetic routes. Typically, IC50 >200 uM, indicating low toxicity. No specific cellular mechanism is studied.
Animal Protocol
No animal experiments are performed with this intermediate alone. It is used to synthesize drug candidates, which then undergo in vivo pharmacokinetic or efficacy studies (e.g., in rodent models). For example, a proline-containing peptidomimetic derived from this compound might be evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity in a mouse carrageenan paw edema model at 10-50 mg/kg.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Not relevant as a drug. For the compound itself, as a small lipophilic molecule (MW 279.29, logP ~2.0), it would be absorbed if administered orally. It would likely be hydrolyzed by esterases to the carboxylic acid and then by amidases to free amino acid. The Cbz group is cleaved in vivo by liver enzymes. The half-life is expected to be short (<2 h). The compound is not intended for systemic use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Low acute toxicity; oral LD50 in rats estimated >2000 mg/kg. It is a skin and eye irritant (H315, H319) and may cause respiratory irritation (H335). The Cbz group can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Standard laboratory safety: wear gloves, lab coat, goggles, use fume hood. Store at -20degC under inert atmosphere. Not a carcinogen.

Additional Infomation
This compound is a key chiral building block for the synthesis of proline analogues used in asymmetric organocatalysis (e.g., for aldol reactions, Michael additions). It is also used in the preparation of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and other peptidomimetic drugs. Purity ≥98% by HPLC. For research use only, not for human consumption.
