Product Description
4-Iodobenzylamine ((4-Iodophenyl)methanamine) is a probe that detects the binding mode of the trypsin-like serine protease, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). 4-Iodobenzylamine is stable in aqueous solution.
4-Iodobenzylamine (p-Iodobenzylamine; CAS# 39959-59-6; C7H8IN; MW 233.05) is an aromatic primary amine consisting of a benzylamine group with an iodine atom at the para position. It is a solid (typically a hydrochloride salt is used) and serves as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of radiolabeled compounds (using ¹23I or ¹3¹I) for imaging and therapy. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and agrochemicals. The compound is moisture and light sensitive.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-Iodobenzylamine does not have a specific biological target as a drug; it is a synthetic intermediate. When radiolabeled with iodine-125 or iodine-131, it can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals that target specific receptors (e.g., imaging of dopamine transporter or other CNS targets). The iodine atom allows for radiolabeling, but the compound itself is not active. It is also used to synthesize inhibitors of various enzymes.
ln Vitro
Not applicable. 4-Iodobenzylamine is not a drug and has no direct in vitro biological activity. It is used as a chemical intermediate. In radiolabeling studies, the ¹2⁵I-labeled compound can be used to measure biodistribution, but the unlabeled compound is not active. It is not evaluated in standard enzyme inhibition assays for drug discovery. It can be used as a substrate for enzymes that act on primary amines, such as monoamine oxidase (MAO), but this is not its primary use.
ln Vivo
4-Iodobenzylamine is not administered as a drug. Radiolabeled derivatives (e.g., ¹23I-4-iodobenzylamine) have been investigated as potential imaging agents for the norepinephrine transporter, but these are research tools, not approved drugs. No therapeutic in vivo activity is reported for the non-radiolabeled compound.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable. 4-Iodobenzylamine is a chemical intermediate, not a standard enzyme inhibitor. Its purity (>95%) is assessed by HPLC. The structure is confirmed by ¹H NMR (aromatic protons delta 7.1-7.8 ppm, CH2 at delta 3.8-4.2 ppm, NH2 at delta 1.5-2.0 ppm) and mass spectrometry (ESI-MS, expected [M+H]+ m/z 234). Physicochemical properties: MW 233.05, soluble in DMSO and ethanol, melts at 60-65degC (free base). No biological assays are applicable.
Cell Assay
Not applicable. 4-Iodobenzylamine 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 the compound (1-1000 uM) for 24-72 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay. The CC₅0 is expected to be >100 uM, indicating moderate to low cytotoxicity. The compound is a synthetic intermediate, not a test agent for pharmacological studies.
Animal Protocol
No in vivo animal protocol for 4-Iodobenzylamine 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 the compound in 0.5% methylcellulose at 500, 1000, 2000 mg/kg and observed for 14 days for mortality and clinical signs. The LD₅0 is expected to be >1000 mg/kg (moderate acute toxicity). This protocol is not typically performed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No PK data for 4-Iodobenzylamine is available. As a small, moderately lipophilic molecule (MW 233.05, LogP ~2.0), it would be absorbed if ingested. It is not intended for systemic administration. The compound is a synthetic intermediate. For research use, it is stored at 2-8degC in a tightly sealed container, protected from light and moisture (hygroscopic).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
For 4-Iodobenzylamine, hazard statements: H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation), H335 (May cause respiratory irritation). Signal word: Warning. Precautionary statements: P261 (Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray), P280 (Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection), P305+P351+P338 (IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes). Storage: at 2-8degC, in a tightly sealed container, protected from light and moisture.

  • 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)
