Product Description
Ethyl acetoacetate (Ethyl acetylacetate) is an ester that is extensively used as an intermediate in the preparation /synthesis of a variety of compounds. Ethyl acetoacetate is a bacterial biofilm inhibitor.
Ethyl acetoacetate (EAA) is an organic compound and a beta-keto ester. It is a widely used chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, participating in reactions such as Claisen condensation, Michael addition, and Knoevenagel condensation. It has also been studied for its biological activity as an inhibitor of bacterial biofilm formation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ethyl acetoacetate's mechanism of action in biological systems involves its ability to inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. Its unique chemical structure facilitates its role in impairing the ability of bacteria to adhere and form protective biofilms. Chemically, its reactivity is due to the presence of both keto and ester functionalities, which allow it to participate in keto-enol tautomerism and act as a nucleophile or electrophile.
ln Vitro
In vitro, ethyl acetoacetate has been shown to inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. It is a valuable research tool for studying microbial resistance and infection control. Its activity is typically assessed using biofilm assays, where bacterial cultures are grown in the presence of the compound and biofilm formation is quantified by crystal violet staining.
ln Vivo
Ethyl acetoacetate is not used as a therapeutic agent in vivo. Its primary applications are in the chemical industry as a synthetic intermediate and as a research tool for studying biofilm formation. It is also used as a fuel additive to improve the cold flow properties of biodiesel.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular assays for ethyl acetoacetate are chemical in nature. Its reactivity as a nucleophile or electrophile can be studied in various chemical reactions. Its ability to inhibit biofilm formation is typically assessed in bacterial cultures rather than in cell-free systems.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for ethyl acetoacetate involve treating bacterial cultures with the compound and assessing its effects on biofilm formation. Bacteria are grown in 96-well plates in the presence of varying concentrations of ethyl acetoacetate. After incubation, the plates are stained with crystal violet, and the amount of biofilm is quantified by measuring absorbance at 595 nm.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not applicable for ethyl acetoacetate, as it is not a therapeutic agent. It is a chemical reagent and synthetic intermediate. Its safety and toxicity have been evaluated in the context of its use as a food additive and industrial chemical.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Ethyl acetoacetate has a molecular weight of 130.14 and a molecular formula of C₆H₁₀O₃. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. The compound is typically stored at room temperature in a tightly closed container. It is soluble in organic solvents and is stable under normal storage conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Ethyl acetoacetate is generally considered to have low toxicity. It may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. It is combustible and should be kept away from heat and open flames.
Additional Infomation
Ethyl acetoacetate is a colorless liquid with a fruity aroma. Flash point: 185°F (85°C). Boiling point: 365°F (185°C). Ingestion or inhalation may have adverse health effects. It may irritate the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It is used in organic synthesis, as well as in varnishes and coatings. Ethyl acetoacetate is an ethyl ester formed by the condensation of the carboxyl group of acetoacetic acid with ethanol. It can be used as a flavoring agent, antibacterial agent, and plant metabolite. Its function is related to acetoacetic acid. Ethyl acetoacetate has been reported to be present in mangoes (Mangifera indica), and relevant data are available.
Ethyl acetoacetate (CAS 141-97-9) is a beta-keto ester used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. It has been studied for its ability to inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. It is a valuable research tool for studying microbial resistance and infection control. It is also used as a fuel additive.

  • 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
