Product Description
4-Hydroxyantipyrine (4-Hydroxyphenazone; NSC 174055) is the major metabolite of antipyrine and can be used as a biodistribution enhancer. 4-Hydroxyantipyrine can increase the concentration ratio distribution of citicoline and antipyrine in the brain.
4-Hydroxyantipyrine (CAS: 1672-63-5), also known as 4-Hydroxyphenazone, is the primary metabolite of antipyrine (phenazone), an analgesic and antipyretic drug. The molecular formula is C11H12N2O2 and the molecular weight is 204.23. 4-Hydroxyantipyrine is a major urinary metabolite, accounting for approximately 21.8% ± 1.1% of the administered dose of antipyrine. Its formation is CYP3A4-dependent, with validated kinetics (Vmax = 1.54 nmol·mg⁻¹·min⁻¹). It is used as a biomarker in pharmacokinetic studies, drug metabolism research, and biochemical assays. It can also act as a biodistribution promoter, increasing the concentration ratio of cytidine and antipyrine in the brain.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-Hydroxyantipyrine does not have a direct pharmacological target. It is a metabolite of antipyrine and serves as a biomarker for CYP3A4 enzyme activity. The compound's formation from antipyrine is catalyzed by CYP3A4, a major drug-metabolizing enzyme in the liver. As a biodistribution promoter, it may affect the distribution of other compounds in the body. However, it is not a drug itself and does not have a defined therapeutic mechanism of action. It is used in research as a tool to study drug metabolism and enzyme activity.
ln Vitro
4-Hydroxyantipyrine raises the ratios of thiopental to tissue-to-plasma concentration in the heart, liver, and brain as well as the ratio of citicoline to tissue-to-plasma concentration in the liver and brain [1]. 4-hydroxyantipyrine can improve the permeability of antipyrine across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which makes sense given that it is linked to an increase in antipyrine Kp value in the brain [2].
In vitro, 4-Hydroxyantipyrine is used as a standard in analytical chemistry for the quantification of antipyrine metabolism. It is detected and quantified using LC-MS/MS or HPLC methods. The compound's formation kinetics (Vmax = 1.54 nmol·mg⁻¹·min⁻¹) have been validated, making it a reliable marker for CYP3A4 activity. It is not a pharmacologically active compound in cell-based assays but is used as a reference standard. Its role as a biodistribution promoter may be studied in cell-based models of drug transport.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 4-Hydroxyantipyrine is the major urinary metabolite of antipyrine. It is formed by CYP3A4-dependent metabolism and excreted in the urine. The compound is used as a probe to assess CYP3A4 activity in vivo by measuring the urinary excretion of 4-hydroxyantipyrine following antipyrine administration. It may also act as a biodistribution promoter, increasing the brain concentration ratio of other compounds. However, it is not administered as a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for 4-Hydroxyantipyrine are primarily analytical. LC-MS/MS and HPLC methods are used to quantify the compound in biological samples such as urine and plasma. These methods are validated for sensitivity and specificity. The compound is used as a standard for method development and validation. No enzyme or receptor binding assays are applicable, as the compound is a metabolite and not a drug targeting a receptor.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for 4-Hydroxyantipyrine are not typically performed, as the compound is a metabolite and not a pharmacologically active agent. It may be used in cell-based models of drug metabolism to study CYP3A4 activity. Cells expressing CYP3A4 can be incubated with antipyrine, and the production of 4-hydroxyantipyrine can be measured. However, the compound itself is not used as a treatment in cell culture.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with 4-Hydroxyantipyrine are not applicable, as the compound is not a therapeutic agent. However, animal models are used to study antipyrine metabolism and CYP3A4 activity. Antipyrine is administered to animals, and the urinary excretion of 4-hydroxyantipyrine is measured. These studies are used to assess the effects of other drugs or disease states on CYP3A4 activity. The compound itself is not administered.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
4-Hydroxyantipyrine is a known human metabolite of antipyrine.
Pharmacokinetic properties of 4-Hydroxyantipyrine are characterized by its formation and elimination as a metabolite of antipyrine. It is formed in the liver by CYP3A4 and excreted in the urine. The compound has a molecular formula of C11H12N2O2 and a molecular weight of 204.23. It is a white to off-white solid. Solubility: soluble in DMSO and ethanol. Storage: room temperature, protected from light.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Safety and toxicology data for 4-Hydroxyantipyrine are limited. As a metabolite of antipyrine, it is generally considered safe at the concentrations found in the body following therapeutic doses of antipyrine. The compound is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. No specific toxicity data are available.
