It is a derivative of imidazole and is known for its potential neurotoxic properties. The compound plays a significant role in studying histamine metabolism, immune modulation, and neurological signaling.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride targets histamine metabolism pathways and acts as an endogenous metabolite. It is involved in histamine catabolism, mast cell activity, and allergic or inflammatory responses. The compound's potential neurotoxic properties suggest interactions with neurological signaling pathways.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride is used in biochemical studies to investigate histamine metabolism and immune modulation. The compound's effects on mast cell activity and histamine catabolism are studied in cell-based systems. Its potential neurotoxic properties are evaluated in neuronal cell models.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride are limited. As a potential neurotoxin and metabolite, it may affect neurological function and immune responses in animal models. However, direct pharmacological effects of the compound itself are not extensively characterized.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride typically involve studying its role in histamine metabolism. The compound is used in assays measuring histamine N-methyltransferase or diamine oxidase activity. Enzyme activity is assessed by monitoring the conversion of histamine to its metabolites using HPLC or spectrophotometric methods.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride are conducted using mast cells, immune cells, or neuronal cell lines. Cells are treated with the compound at concentrations ranging from 1-100 uM for 6-24 hours. Histamine release is measured by ELISA. Mast cell activation is assessed by measuring degranulation and cytokine production. Neurotoxicity is evaluated by assessing cell viability (MTT assay), oxidative stress markers, and neuronal morphology.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride are not well-established. As a research compound, it may be used in models of histamine-related disorders or neurotoxicity. Standard protocols would involve administration via intraperitoneal or oral routes with assessment of neurological function, immune responses, and histamine levels.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride are limited. As a small molecule, it is expected to have moderate bioavailability and distribution. The compound is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. Storage conditions are powder at -20degC for 3 years. No specific PK parameters have been reported.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride indicate that it is a potential neurotoxin. This classification suggests that the compound may have adverse effects on the nervous system at certain concentrations. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. It is for research use only and not for human consumption.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~125 mg/mL (~707.81 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (11.78 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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (11.78 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 20.8 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.

*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.

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
