| Targets |
As an impurity reference, this compound does not have a defined pharmacological target. Dapagliflozin, the parent drug, selectively inhibits SGLT2 (SLC5A2), a sodium‑glucose cotransporter expressed primarily in the proximal tubule of the kidney, thereby reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion, leading to improved glycemic control and cardiovascular benefits in T2DM patients. This impurity may have structural similarity but is not intended to have SGLT2 inhibitory activity.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No specific in vitro activity data are available for this impurity. It serves as a reference standard to ensure the purity of dapagliflozin drug substance, rather than as a pharmacologically active compound. The iodine atom, chlorine atom, and the ketone group allow for further chemical transformations, but the compound is not tested in biological assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
The compound is not used in vivo for therapeutic purposes. As a process‑related impurity, it may be present at trace levels in dapagliflozin drug substance and product, but it is not administered as an active agent. Its role is solely in pharmaceutical quality control.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non‑cell‑based experiments for this compound are analytical. A typical HPLC method for impurity profiling uses a C18 reverse‑phase column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 um) with a mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.1% phosphoric acid in water (gradient elution 30→90% acetonitrile over 25 min) at 1.0 mL/min, with UV detection at 254 nm. LC‑MS in positive ESI mode shows an [M+H]+ ion at m/z 387.0 (with characteristic isotopic patterns for chlorine and iodine: for Cl, 3:1 ratio of m/z 387:389; for I, the m/z of 387 is the only abundant isotope, but iodine has an isotopic pattern of 127I (100%) and 129I (trace)). ¹H NMR (CDCl3 or DMSO‑d₆) shows characteristic signals for the aromatic protons and the ethoxy group (CH3, delta 1.4 ppm, t; CH2, delta 4.1 ppm, q). The compound is stored at room temperature, protected from light and moisture, in a sealed container. Purity is typically ≥95-97% from commercial suppliers.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell‑based assays are not applicable for this impurity. It is a reference material and is not intended for cellular evaluation. Any cell‑based studies would be performed on the parent drug dapagliflozin, not on its impurities. Dapagliflozin is tested for SGLT2 inhibition using transfected HEK‑293 cells expressing human SGLT2, measuring sodium‑dependent 14C‑methyl‑alpha‑D‑glucopyranoside uptake. This impurity is not tested.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments are not conducted for this impurity. For the parent drug dapagliflozin, a standard protocol in the Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat model involves oral administration of dapagliflozin (0.1-10 mg/kg) once daily for 4 weeks. Blood glucose levels, urinary glucose excretion, body weight, and HbA1c are measured. This impurity is not administered in animals.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data are not applicable for this impurity. If present in a formulation, it would be at trace levels only. Based on its structure (molecular weight 386.61, estimated log P ~4.0-4.5), the compound is lipophilic. It is a solid at room temperature (melting point not reported) and is stored at room temperature, protected from light.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of this compound has not been characterized. As a research chemical, standard safety precautions apply. The compound may be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It may cause skin and eye irritation. The presence of the iodine atom may contribute to toxicity, but no direct data are available. It should be handled in a well‑ventilated area (fume hood) with appropriate PPE.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C.
