| Targets |
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and Hepatic N-Acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2). 4-Hydroxyacetophenone oxime is a weak inhibitor of these enzymes. As an impurity of acetaminophen, it may interfere with the arachidonic acid pathway by inhibiting COX-2 and also affect phase II drug metabolism by inhibiting NAT2. It exhibits antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer properties in vitro and in vivo.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
The compound has been reported to demonstrate antifungal activity surpassing the efficacy of commercial agents like clotrimazole and miconazole. It also exhibits antibacterial effects against various pathogens and antiproliferative effects in cancer cell lines, although the exact IC50 values vary widely depending on the assay system and cell type used.
|
| ln Vivo |
Acetaminophen itself acts as a potent antipyretic and analgesic by inhibiting COX-2 in the CNS. While the parent drug has low anti-inflammatory activity peripherally, 4-Hydroxyacetophenone oxime, as an impurity, is not considered to contribute significantly to the therapeutic effects of acetaminophen at standard doses and is primarily monitored for safety and regulatory compliance.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free COX-2 inhibition assays: Purified human COX-2 enzyme (0.1-0.5 U) is incubated in 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 5 microM hematin, 2 mM phenol, and varying concentrations of 4-Hydroxyacetophenone oxime (1-1000 microM). The reaction is initiated by adding arachidonic acid (100 microM), followed by incubation for 2 min at 37degC. Prostaglandin (PGE2) production is quantified using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit, and IC50 values are calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
Not applicable (no validated cell-based assay specific to this impurity). In cytotoxicity screening, human hepatocytes (HepaRG) are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with 4-Hydroxyacetophenone oxime (0.1-1000 microM) for 24-72 h. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Alternatively, antifungal activity is tested against Candida albicans cultures in RPMI-1640 medium, with MIC determination after 48 h incubation at 35degC.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Not applicable (impurity standard, not evaluated in dedicated animal efficacy studies). For general toxicity testing, male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g) are dosed orally with 4-Hydroxyacetophenone oxime (50-500 mg/kg) or vehicle for 14 days. Body weight, food consumption, serum biochemistry (ALT, AST, creatinine, BUN), and histopathology (liver, kidney) are assessed to determine the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL).
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
4-Hydroxyacetophenone oxime is a small molecule with moderate lipophilicity. As an impurity, it is typically present at levels <0.1% in pharmaceutical-grade paracetamol. The compound is primarily excreted in urine after conjugation. Detailed human pharmacokinetic (PK) data is not available; its detection and quantification are performed using HPLC-UV or LC-MS methods for quality control.

| Additional Infomation |
Acetaminophen was FDA-approved in 1951 as a non-prescription analgesic/antipyretic. The oxime derivative is strictly a research tool. Its primary application is as an analytical reference standard in pharmaceutical quality control (QC), and it is listed in pharmacopeias as a specified impurity to be monitored and controlled during paracetamol drug substance manufacturing.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
