Product Description
(2S,4R)-Ethyl 5-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-4-amino-2-methylpentanoate hydrochloride (CAS: 2259707-96-3) is a synthetic drug intermediate with the molecular formula C20H2₆ClNO2 and molecular weight of 347.88 g/mol (free base MW is 311.42). This compound is the ethyl ester hydrochloride salt of a gamma-amino acid featuring a biphenyl group, an amino group at the 4-position, and a methyl group at the 2-position with defined (2S,4R) absolute stereochemistry. It is a drug intermediate used in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical compounds, particularly those belonging to the class of neprilysin inhibitors and angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors. The compound is also known as Valsartan Impurity 61 or Sacubitril Valsartan Impurity 49, serving as an impurity reference standard for quality control of the heart failure combination drug Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The compound itself does not have a direct pharmacological target as it is a synthetic intermediate. However, the structural class it belongs to-specifically the 4-amino-2-methylpentanoate backbone with a biphenyl substituent-is designed to interact with neprilysin (NEP), a zinc-dependent metalloprotease that degrades natriuretic peptides, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Inhibition of neprilysin increases the levels of these vasoactive peptides, leading to vasodilation, natriuresis, and diuresis. The (2R,4S) stereoisomer (the enantiomer of the side chain in the final drug) is known to have potent neprilysin inhibitory activity.
ln Vitro
(2S,4R)-Ethyl 5-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-4-amino-2-methylpentanoate hydrochloride does not possess intrinsic in vitro biological activity itself, as it is a synthetic intermediate and impurity reference standard rather than an active drug. Its purpose is to serve as a chemical building block in the synthesis of active neprilysin inhibitors, which are then evaluated in biochemical enzyme inhibition assays. In those active compounds, the in vitro activity against recombinant human neprilysin is measured using fluorogenic substrates such as Mca-RPPGFSAFK(Dnp)-OH, and IC50 values in the low nanomolar range are typical for fully elaborated neprilysin inhibitors.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity is not associated with this intermediate itself but rather with the final drug products into which it is incorporated. Sacubitril, the neprilysin inhibitor component of Entresto, when administered in combination with valsartan, demonstrates significant cardiovascular benefits in animal models of heart failure. In rats with heart failure induced by myocardial infarction, sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) reduces left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, decreases cardiac fibrosis, and improves survival compared to either component alone. Clinical studies have shown that sacubitril/valsartan reduces the risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular experiments involving this compound are primarily analytical in nature for impurity profiling. A typical HPLC method for monitoring the content of (2S,4R)-Ethyl 5-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-4-amino-2-methylpentanoate hydrochloride uses a C18 reverse-phase column (e.g., 4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 microm particles) with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) delivered at 1.0 mL/min. Detection is by UV absorbance at 210 nm or 254 nm. The compound is prepared as a reference standard in methanol or acetonitrile at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. LC-MS/MS in positive ion mode can be applied for trace-level impurity quantification following ICH guidelines.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are not applicable for this intermediate, as it is a synthetic building block and impurity standard. The compound is designed for chemical transformation, not for direct cellular interaction. The presence of the free amino group and ethyl ester makes it a polar molecule that may not efficiently cross cell membranes. Any cell-based evaluations of neprilysin inhibitory activity would be conducted on the final deprotected active compounds (the free carboxylic acids) after the ethyl ester has been hydrolyzed to the active form.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not applicable for this synthetic intermediate. The parent drugs derived from similar intermediates have been extensively tested. A typical study of the neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril in rats involves oral administration at doses ranging from 10 to 100 mg/kg. Blood samples are collected at predetermined time points, and the concentration of the active metabolite (sacubitrilat, the free carboxylic acid form) is measured by LC-MS/MS. In heart failure models, endpoints include echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction, measurement of natriuretic peptide levels, and histological analysis of cardiac tissue.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties are not available for this synthetic intermediate, as it is not a therapeutic agent. The ethyl ester of this compound (which is characteristic of prodrug design) is designed to enhance oral absorption. Following oral administration, the ethyl ester is rapidly hydrolyzed by carboxylesterases in the liver and gut to the active free carboxylic acid metabolite (the neprilysin inhibitor). This strategy improves bioavailability. The compound is typically stored at -20degC in a freezer to maintain stability, and it should be protected from light and moisture.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of this compound has not been fully characterized, as it is a research-use-only intermediate and impurity standard. Based on its structural features-a primary amine and an ethyl ester-standard chemical safety precautions apply. It may cause skin and eye irritation and may be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. The hydrochloride salt form makes it water-soluble. It should be handled in a well-ventilated area (fume hood) while wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (lab coat, gloves, safety goggles).
Additional Infomation
Additional information: This compound has a molecular weight of 347.88 g/mol and a purity of 97-98% when sold as a research reagent. Its IUPAC name is ethyl (2S,4R)-5-(4-phenylphenyl)-4-aminopentanoate hydrochloride. Other names include (2S,4R)-ethyl 5-(biphenyl-4-yl)-4-aminopentanoate hydrochloride. The compound is available in various quantities (10 mg, 25 mg, 100 mg, etc.) from commercial suppliers for research use only. It should be stored under inert atmosphere at -20degC for long-term stability.
