Product Description
Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate is a pyrrole used in proteomics research.
Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) is a pyrrole-based organic compound featuring a formyl group (-CHO) at the 4-position and an ethyl ester group (-COOCH2CH3) at the 2-position of the pyrrole ring. This compound is classified as a pyrrole used in proteomics research and serves as a synthetic building block for more complex heterocyclic molecules. It is a solid at room temperature with a melting point of 100-105degC. Its molecular formula is C8H9NO3 with a molecular weight of 167.16 g/mol. The compound contains a secondary amine (NH) on the pyrrole ring, making it suitable for further derivatization at multiple sites. Purity specifications typically exceed 95-97% by HPLC/GC. Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate is primarily utilized as a research chemical in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) does not have a defined biological target as it is primarily a synthetic building block and research chemical for proteomics studies rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is used as a chemical scaffold or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex biologically active molecules. The pyrrole core is a common heterocycle found in many natural products and pharmaceuticals, and the formyl and ester groups allow for diverse chemical transformations. However, the parent compound itself is not known to bind to any specific protein or receptor. Its primary role is as a research chemical in proteomics and medicinal chemistry, serving as a precursor for the construction of compound libraries or for the synthesis of molecules with defined biological targets.
ln Vitro
Not applicable for Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) as it is a synthetic building block without documented direct biological activity. The compound is classified as a biochemical assay reagent and a research chemical for proteomics. No IC50, EC50, or other potency values have been reported for this substance in the context of target-based assays. Its primary role is in chemical synthesis for preparing more complex molecules, not as a pharmacologically active agent itself. The compound may be used to create compound libraries that are subsequently screened for biological activity.
ln Vivo
Not applicable for Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) as it is a synthetic building block without documented in vivo biological activity. The compound is intended for chemical synthesis and proteomics research rather than pharmacological evaluation in animal models. It does not possess intrinsic therapeutic properties as a standalone agent. Any in vivo activity would be associated with the final compounds synthesized from this building block, not with the precursor itself. The compound is not typically administered to animals for efficacy studies.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable for Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) as it is a synthetic building block without reported receptor binding properties. For general organic chemistry applications, no protein or receptor binding assays have been reported. The compound‘s functional groups (formyl, ester, pyrrole NH) make it suitable for various chemical transformations, but these are not biological binding assays. Standard analytical characterization for this compound includes NMR spectroscopy, GC/HPLC analysis for purity determination (>95-97% by GC/HPLC), and mass spectrometry. These methods are used for quality control and chemical identification, not for biological binding assessments.
Cell Assay
Not applicable for Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) as it is a synthetic building block without documented cell-based activity. This compound is not typically used in cell culture experiments as a pharmacologically active agent. Its primary applications are in organic synthesis as a starting material for drug manufacturing and as a research chemical in proteomics. Standard practice involves converting this building block into final test compounds before biological testing. No direct cell-based assays for the parent compound are reported in the available literature. It is considered a chemical intermediate or research chemical, not a test article for cell-based efficacy assays. However, as a proteomics research chemical, it may be used to chemically modify proteins or peptides for mass spectrometry applications, but this is not a cell-based activity assay.
Animal Protocol
Not applicable for Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) as it is a synthetic building block without documented in vivo animal study protocols. The compound is used as a chemical precursor rather than as a test article for animal efficacy studies. Any animal studies involving this compound would be for toxicological safety assessment of the chemical itself, not for therapeutic efficacy evaluation. Standard OECD guidelines for chemical safety testing could apply, but no specific protocols are reported in the available literature for this compound. The compound is typically further transformed into more complex molecules before animal studies. As a proteomics research chemical, it may be used in ex vivo protein labeling studies, but these are not in vivo animal efficacy studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Not applicable for Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) as it is a synthetic building block without reported pharmacokinetic studies. The compound is not intended for systemic drug delivery. For chemical safety assessment, the compound has predicted physicochemical properties including moderate lipophilicity (estimated logP ~1.5), one hydrogen bond donor (pyrrole NH), three hydrogen bond acceptors (formyl O, ester O, and ester O), and three rotatable bonds. No formal PK data in humans or animals have been reported. The compound is used primarily as a research chemical in proteomics and medicinal chemistry, not as a pharmaceutical candidate requiring PK characterization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity data for Ethyl 4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (7126-57-0) are not widely reported in the available literature. The compound is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. Standard safety precautions for handling include: avoid dust formation, use appropriate personal protective equipment (chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, lab coat), ensure adequate ventilation (use fume hood), avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, and avoid inhalation of dust or vapors. The compound may cause skin and eye irritation. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention. Storage: in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in a tightly sealed container, protected from light and moisture. No specific acute toxicity values (LD50) are reported in the available literature. The compound should be handled with care, and users should consult the Safety Data Sheet for comprehensive safety information.
