Product Description
2-(4-(Aminomethyl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanol is a PROTAC linker that can be used to synthesize PROTAC molecules.
2-(4-(Aminomethyl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanol is a PROTAC linker containing an amino group and a hydroxyl group. It belongs to the piperidine derivative class and is used as a rigid or semi-rigid linker in the synthesis of PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) molecules. It has been investigated for its potential as a modulator of neurotransmitter systems, showing promise in conditions such as depression and anxiety by influencing serotonin and norepinephrine pathways.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
This PROTAC linker does not have a direct biological target for therapeutic intervention. Its function is to serve as a chemical bridge, providing a stable framework to connect a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase (such as cereblon or VHL) and a ligand for a target protein of interest. The primary chemical target is the two reactive moieties (the amine group can form amides or carbamates, while the hydroxyl can be activated for nucleophilic substitution) to which it conjugates during PROTAC synthesis.
ln Vitro
PROTAC contains two distinct ligands linked by a single linker: one is the ligand for the E190 ubiquitin ligase, and the other is the ligand for the target protein. PROTAC utilizes the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade the target protein.
As a PROTAC linker, 2-(4-(Aminomethyl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanol itself lacks direct biological activity in cell-free systems. It is not an enzyme inhibitor or receptor ligand. Any observed activity would be derived from the complete PROTAC molecule, not the linker alone. For typical enzymatic assays (e.g., kinase activity), this compound is inert and would show no inhibition at concentrations up to 100 uM.
ln Vivo
The compound is not used as a therapeutic agent in vivo. Its in vivo role is confined to being a component of a larger PROTAC molecule. When incorporated into a PROTAC, the conjugate may exhibit activity in animal models of disease (e.g., tumor xenografts). The linker itself, if administered alone, would likely be rapidly cleared and show no efficacy. There are no published reports on the direct in vivo activity of this specific linker.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable. 2-(4-(Aminomethyl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanol is not evaluated in enzymatic or receptor binding assays. For analytical characterization, purity is assessed by HPLC using a C18 column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile/water (containing 0.1% TFA) and detection by UV at 210 nm or by ELSD. Mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is used to confirm identity, looking for the [M+H]+ ion at m/z 159.25.
Cell Assay
Not applicable. This PROTAC linker is not used as a test article in cell-based assays. It may be used as a negative control in PROTAC experiments. In such a control, cells are treated with the linker alone (0.1-10 microM) for 48-72 hours, and cell viability is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo. The compound typically shows no significant cytotoxicity or protein degradation activity at these concentrations, confirming that any observed effects from a complete PROTAC are due to target engagement.
Animal Protocol
Not applicable. This compound is a synthetic building block and is not administered to animals for efficacy or pharmacokinetic studies as a standalone agent. It is stored in a cool, dry place under standard laboratory conditions. It is handled with standard precautions for organic compounds (gloves, lab coat, eye protection) and is intended for research use only, not for human consumption.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Not applicable. 2-(4-(Aminomethyl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanol is a PROTAC linker, not a drug candidate. It has no pharmacological PK properties. If it were absorbed, it would behave as a piperidine derivative, likely undergoing phase II metabolism (glucuronidation) and renal excretion. Its use is strictly confined to in vitro synthesis where it is conjugated to other moieties.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
2-(4-(Aminomethyl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanol is generally considered a low-toxicity chemical for laboratory use. The amino group may cause mild skin or eye irritation upon direct contact. No specific target organ toxicity (e.g., hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity) has been reported. Standard chemical handling procedures should be followed: use of safety goggles, nitrile gloves, and a laboratory coat in a well-ventilated area. It has CAS number 21168-72-9. Its molecular formula is C8H18N2O, and its molecular weight is 158.25 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 2-[4-(aminomethyl)piperidin-1-yl]ethanol. It typically appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid. It is soluble in DMSO and water. It is stable under normal storage conditions (powder at -20degC for up to 3 years, in solvent at -80degC for 6 months) and requires protection from light.
