| Targets |
4-Hydroxymethylpyrazole targets alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), the same enzyme as its parent compound, Fomepizole. However, it is a much weaker inhibitor, and its in vivo impact is considered negligible. As a metabolite, it is primarily relevant for its role in the pharmacokinetics and clearance of Fomepizole.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, 4-hydroxymethylpyrazole has a certain inhibitory effect on alcohol dehydrogenase, but its inhibition constant is significantly higher than that of Fomepizole. Its primary use is as an analytical standard for quantifying Fomepizole metabolism. It exhibits a plasma concentration that is positively correlated with the administered dosage of Fomepizole.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, 4-hydroxymethylpyrazole is the major circulating metabolite of Fomepizole. Its plasma concentration is directly related to the dose of Fomepizole administered. Its own in vivo impact on ADH inhibition is minimal due to its low potency.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for 4-hydroxymethylpyrazole are primarily analytical. It is measured in plasma and other biological samples using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to monitor Fomepizole metabolism and pharmacokinetics. It can also be used as a reference standard in these assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
4-Hydroxymethylpyrazole is not typically used in cellular assays as a pharmacological agent. Its role is as a metabolite. Its effects on ADH activity can be studied in cell lysates or tissue homogenates containing the enzyme.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with 4-hydroxymethylpyrazole are conducted to study the pharmacokinetics of Fomepizole. Animals are administered Fomepizole, and plasma levels of 4-hydroxymethylpyrazole are measured over time to determine the metabolic clearance and half-life of the parent drug.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
4-Hydroxymethylpyrazole has a relatively short half-life. Its plasma concentration correlates with Fomepizole dosage. It is formed in the liver and cleared renally. The compound is soluble in DMSO at 100 mg/mL and is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or at 4°C for up to 2 years, and in solution at -80°C for 6 months or -20°C for 1 month.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
4-Hydroxymethylpyrazole is considered to be of low toxicity, as it is the primary metabolite of Fomepizole, which is a clinically used drug. Its own pharmacological activity (ADH inhibition) is weak. It is not used as a therapeutic agent.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (25.48 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (25.48 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*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.
