Product Description
1-Methylisatin is a potent and specific carboxylesterase inhibitor (antagonist) with Kis of 38.2 and 5.38 μM for hiCE and hCE1, respectively. 1-Methylisatin interacts with human adult hemoglobin via hydrophobic binding and electrostatic attraction. 1-Methylisatin may be utilized in studies regulating the metabolism of active molecules in the body.
1-Methylisatin is a heterocyclic compound and a derivative of isatin, also known as N-methylisatin. It has the molecular formula C9H7NO2 and a molecular weight of 161.16 g/mol. 1-Methylisatin is used as a fragment molecule in drug discovery, serving as a scaffold for molecular linking, expansion, and modification. It is also an impurity of the drug Ramosetron, a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used to treat nausea and vomiting. The compound has been studied for its role in the regulation of drug metabolism in vivo. It appears as a light yellow to amber to dark green powder or crystal and is stored at room temperature.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
1-Methylisatin is used as a fragment molecule in drug discovery and does not have a specific pharmacological target of its own. Its function is to serve as a scaffold for the design and synthesis of novel drug candidates. As an impurity of Ramosetron, it is related to the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor, but it is not the primary active compound. It has also been used in the study of the regulation of drug metabolism in vivo, suggesting it may interact with metabolic enzymes. However, its precise molecular targets are not well-defined.
ln Vitro
Specific in vitro biological activities for 1-Methylisatin are not extensively documented in the available literature. It is primarily used as a building block in chemical synthesis and drug discovery. As a fragment molecule, it is used to construct more complex molecules with potential biological activities. Its role as an impurity of Ramosetron indicates it may have some affinity for the 5-HT3 receptor, but this is not its primary application. It has also been used as a reactant in the stereoselective preparation of spirobicyclic compounds.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 1-Methylisatin has been used in the study of regulation of drug metabolism. Its role in this context is not fully detailed in the available literature. As a fragment molecule, it is not typically used as a therapeutic agent in vivo. Its primary application is in chemical synthesis and drug discovery research. If used in animal studies, it would likely be as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds, rather than as a bioactive molecule itself.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding assays for 1-Methylisatin are not typically performed, as the compound is not a known bioactive molecule with a defined target. Its use in research is primarily as a synthetic intermediate or fragment for medicinal chemistry. When used in such contexts, it is subjected to chemical reactions rather than biological assays. The compound's purity and identity are confirmed using standard analytical techniques such as GC or HPLC.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays using 1-Methylisatin are not typical, as the compound is not a bioactive molecule used for studying cellular processes. Its primary application is in chemical synthesis, where it serves as a reactant. It is not generally used directly in cell culture experiments. The compound's role as an impurity of Ramosetron suggests it may have some biological activity, but this is not its primary application.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments using 1-Methylisatin are not typical, as the compound is a synthetic intermediate rather than a therapeutic agent. It is not administered to animals for therapeutic purposes. Its role is limited to chemical synthesis and drug discovery. If used in animal studies, it would be as a precursor in the synthesis of other compounds that are then tested in vivo.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
1-Methylisatin has a molecular weight of 161.16 g/mol and the formula C9H7NO2. It is a light yellow to amber to dark green powder or crystal with a melting point of 128.0 to 133.0 °C. For long-term storage, the compound is kept at room temperature. Its purity is typically ≥98.0%. The compound is soluble in organic solvents.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicological data for 1-Methylisatin are not provided in the available sources. As a research chemical, its safety profile in humans has not been established. The compound is classified as a research reagent for organic synthesis and is not for therapeutic or veterinary use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment. Its purity is typically ≥98% or higher.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
