| Targets |
CHES does not have a specific biological target as a drug. It is a zwitterionic buffer used to maintain pH in biochemical and enzymatic assays. It has been shown to bind to the iodoacetate binding site of liver alcohol dehydrogenase with high affinity. It can also interact with hemagglutinin (HA) and mimic sialic acid binding. Good's buffers are characterized by high water solubility, low cell membrane permeability, consistent acid-base dissociation constants, low metal chelating capability, and high chemical stability.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
CHES does not have direct in vitro biological activity as a pharmacological agent. Its value is as a buffer for studying pH-dependent processes in enzymology and biochemistry. The compound maintains a stable pH environment for enzymatic reactions without interfering with the biochemical processes being studied. It has minimal absorption in the UV-visible spectral range, which is advantageous during spectrophotometric analysis.
|
| ln Vivo |
CHES does not have in vivo biological activity as a pharmacological agent. It is not intended for administration to animals or humans as a therapeutic. Its value is as a laboratory reagent for biochemical research. The compound is used in buffer solutions for various in vitro applications.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays using CHES as a buffer are performed to study pH-dependent enzymatic processes. The buffer is prepared at the desired pH within its effective range (8.6-10.0). Enzyme activity is measured under controlled pH conditions, and the effects of pH on enzyme kinetics, stability, and substrate binding are evaluated. CHES has been shown to have high affinity for the iodoacetate binding site of liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell culture experiments using CHES are limited as it is primarily used as a buffer in biochemical assays rather than in cell culture media. Good's buffers like CHES are designed for minimal interference with biochemical processes and have low cell membrane permeability. The compound may be used in cell-free assays or in preparing buffers for cell lysis and protein extraction. Researchers should consult primary literature for specific applications.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments are not applicable to CHES as it is a buffer reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is not intended for administration to animals. Its value is as a laboratory reagent for biochemical research. Researchers should not attempt in vivo administration of this compound.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties are not applicable to CHES as it is a buffer reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is not intended for administration to animals or humans. Its physicochemical properties include molecular weight 207.29, molecular formula C8H17NO3S, and pKa 9.5. It is highly water-soluble. These properties are relevant for buffer preparation rather than pharmacokinetics.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
CHES is considered a safe buffer for laboratory use with minimal toxicity at typical working concentrations. Good's buffers are designed for minimal interference with biochemical processes. However, as with all chemical reagents, appropriate safety precautions should be followed. The compound is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.

*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.
