| Targets |
MES buffer has no biological target. It is a chemical buffer used to maintain a stable pH in aqueous solutions, which is essential for optimal enzyme activity, protein stability, and cell viability. The morpholino group and sulfonic acid moieties confer buffering capacity near physiological pH. It does not interact with biological receptors or enzymes in a pharmacological manner.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
MES is not a drug and has no direct in vitro biological activity. At concentrations used for buffering (10-100 mM), it is not cytotoxic to most cell lines. It is an inert reagent used to maintain pH conditions. In certain assays, MES can be used as a substrate to study the activity of sulfatase enzymes, but this is not its primary application. It is a standard buffer component in many biochemical and cell biology protocols.
|
| ln Vivo |
Not applicable. MES is not intended for in vivo use as a drug. It is a buffer reagent. It is used in cell culture and in vitro experiments but is not administered to animals. No therapeutic in vivo activity is reported. It is used as an excipient in some pharmaceutical formulations for pH adjustment, but it is not an active ingredient.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Not applicable. MES is a buffer, not a standard enzyme inhibitor. Its purity (>98%) is assessed by HPLC. Physicochemical properties: MW 195.24 (anhydrous), white crystalline powder, soluble in water (≥100 mg/mL), pKa 6.1 (25degC). The buffer capacity is measured by titrating a solution of MES (0.1 M) with HCl or NaOH and monitoring the pH. The effective pH range is 5.5-6.7. No biological assays are applicable.
|
| Cell Assay |
Not applicable. MES is not used in standard cell-based assays for drug discovery. For toxicity screening, HepG2 or HEK293 cells are seeded in 96-well plates (1×10⁴ cells/well) and treated with MES (1-100 mM) for 24-72 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay. The CC₅0 is expected to be >50 mM, indicating low cytotoxicity. The compound is a buffer, not a test agent for pharmacological studies. In cell culture, it is used at 10-25 mM without affecting cell viability.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No in vivo animal protocol for MES exists, as it is not a drug candidate. For acute toxicity testing, female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=3-5 per dose) are administered a single oral dose of MES in water at 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 mg/kg and observed for 14 days for mortality and clinical signs. The LD₅0 is expected to be >2000 mg/kg (low acute toxicity). This protocol is not typically performed for this compound.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Not applicable. MES is not a drug and is not intended for systemic absorption. If administered intravenously, it is rapidly excreted unchanged in urine. It is not metabolized. For research use, it is stored at room temperature in a tightly sealed container, protected from moisture.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
MES hydrate is considered safe and non-toxic at the concentrations used for buffering (10-100 mM). The acute oral LD₅0 in rats is >2000 mg/kg. It is a mild skin and eye irritant. It is not mutagenic or carcinogenic. For handling, use PPE (gloves, lab coat, safety goggles), work in a well-ventilated area, avoid inhalation of dust.
