Product Description
Glurate (4-Acetylbutyric acid; 5-Oxohexanoic acid) may be utilized to construct antiviral compounds (acyclic nucleoside esters) (information disclosed in patent WO1997030052A1).
Glurate (CAS 3128-06-1), also known as 4-acetylbutyric acid or 5-oxohexanoic acid, is a medium-chain fatty acid comprising hexanoic acid with a 5-oxo group. It is a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite and belongs to the class of 5-oxo monocarboxylic acids, oxo fatty acids, and straight-chain fatty acids. Glurate is a synthetic intermediate used in the development of antiviral compounds. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid at room temperature.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Glurate does not have a defined biological receptor target as it is primarily used as a chemical reagent and acylating agent. It can be used in the development of antiviral compounds, especially those targeting retroviruses such as herpes virus and HIV. The compound is utilized in the synthesis of acyclic nucleoside derivatives and 5-hydroxyhexanoic acid. Its role is as a building block in medicinal chemistry rather than a direct-acting therapeutic agent.
ln Vitro
In vitro biological activity of Glurate is not typically studied as a primary endpoint, as the compound is a synthetic intermediate. It may be used in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, but specific in vitro activity data for the compound itself are not available in the published literature. Its primary applications are in chemical synthesis and as a research reagent for the construction of antiviral agents.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of Glurate has not been studied, as the compound is not a drug candidate. It is used in chemical synthesis and may be a component of more complex molecules with biological activity. Animal model studies have not been reported for this compound. Its primary applications are in the laboratory rather than in vivo biological systems.
Enzyme Assay
Glurate is used as a reagent and building block in organic synthesis. Standard chemical characterization methods such as NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatography are used to verify its identity and purity. For reactions involving this compound, standard organic chemistry procedures for carboxylic acids and acylating agents are followed. No specific biological assay protocols are relevant for this compound.
Cell Assay
Cell-based studies are not typically performed for Glurate, as it is not a bioactive compound. If cytotoxicity screening is conducted, standard cell viability assays using mammalian cell lines may be employed. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and exposed to various concentrations of the compound. However, such studies are not routine for this synthetic intermediate.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not applicable for Glurate as it is not a therapeutic compound. The compound is used in chemical synthesis and is not intended for administration to animals or humans. No animal model studies have been reported. Its use is limited to laboratory research and synthesis applications.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Glurate have not been studied. As a small hydrophilic molecule with a molecular weight of 130.14 g/mol, it would be expected to have rapid absorption and distribution if administered. However, the compound is not intended for therapeutic use, and PK studies are not relevant. Its primary applications are in chemical synthesis rather than biological systems. The compound has a LogP of 0.83.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Glurate are limited. As a chemical reagent, standard safety precautions should be followed when handling. It may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Specific toxicological data such as LD₅₀ values have not been reported. The compound should be handled in a fume hood with appropriate personal protective equipment.

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
