| Targets |
6-Chlorooxindole is a synthetic building block and does not have a direct biological target. As an intermediate, it is used to construct the oxindole moiety of Ziprasidone, an atypical antipsychotic. Ziprasidone acts as an antagonist at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, as well as a partial agonist at 5-HT1A, contributing to its antipsychotic efficacy. The chlorooxindole intermediate is not pharmacologically active itself; its role is purely synthetic.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
6-Chlorooxindole itself does not exhibit direct biological activity as a drug. It is a chemical intermediate, not an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). It is not typically evaluated in enzyme inhibition or cell-based assays. The compound's importance lies in its utility for the synthesis of Ziprasidone, which has well-documented in vitro activity as a dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, with Ki values in the low nanomolar range.
|
| ln Vivo |
No direct in vivo activity data for 6-Chlorooxindole is available. The final drug Ziprasidone, synthesized from this intermediate, is FDA-approved for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Ziprasidone is administered orally (20-80 mg twice daily) or intramuscularly. In animal models, Ziprasidone (1-10 mg/kg, IP or PO) has shown antipsychotic activity in conditioned avoidance response tests and inhibition of apomorphine-induced climbing behavior. The intermediate has no in vivo activity.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
6-Chlorooxindole is not a biologically active compound; it is a chemical intermediate characterized by physical and chemical methods. Purity is assessed by GC (>98%), and identity is confirmed by ¹H NMR and ¹3C NMR spectroscopy (in DMSO-d₆) and mass spectrometry (EI-MS, expected m/z 167/169 [M]+, Cl isotope pattern). Melting point (195-199degC) is a key quality parameter. The compound is not tested in biological assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
No standard cell-based protocol for 6-Chlorooxindole exists. For toxicity screening, the compound can be tested in a standard in vitro cytotoxicity assay: HepG2 or HEK293 cells are seeded in 96-well plates (1×10⁴ cells/well) and incubated overnight. 6-Chlorooxindole is added at concentrations of 0.1-1000 microM (DMSO ≤0.1%) for 24-72 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay. The CC₅0 is typically >100 microM, indicating low cytotoxicity. This is for safety assessment only, not for pharmacological evaluation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No in vivo animal protocol for 6-Chlorooxindole exists, as it is not a drug. For the final drug Ziprasidone, in vivo testing is performed in animal models of psychosis: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-300 g) are administered Ziprasidone (1-10 mg/kg, IP or PO) 30-60 min before testing. The conditioned avoidance response (CAR) test measures the ability of the drug to inhibit avoidance behavior (escape vs. avoidance). The apomorphine-induced climbing test (apomorphine 0.5-1 mg/kg SC) measures inhibition of climbing behavior in mice (0.5-2 mg/kg IP). The intermediate is not used in these studies.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Not applicable; 6-Chlorooxindole is a chemical intermediate, not a drug. Physicochemical properties: MW 167.59, Log P ~2.0, melting point 195-199degC, insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents (DMSO, DCM, ethanol). It is not intended for absorption or systemic distribution. In the synthetic route to Ziprasidone, it is reacted with other building blocks to form the final API.
