Product Description
3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy) is the main degradation product of the herbicide Triclopyr and the insecticides Chlorpyrifos and Chlorpyrifos-methyl.
3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy) (CAS 6515-38-4) is a chlorinated pyridinol compound and the primary metabolite and environmental degradation product of the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos. It has the molecular formula C₅H₂Cl₃NO and a molecular weight of approximately 198.43 g/mol. TCPy is formed by the hydrolysis of chlorpyrifos, which is widely used in agriculture for pest control. TCPy is more water-soluble and persistent than chlorpyrifos and is commonly detected in environmental samples, including soil, water, and food products. It is also detected in human urine as a biomarker of chlorpyrifos exposure. The compound is used as a reference standard for environmental monitoring and exposure assessment studies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Not a pharmacological target; environmental metabolite and exposure biomarker. TCPy is not a drug and does not have a specific pharmacological target. It is the primary metabolite and environmental degradation product of the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos. The compound's biological effects are related to its toxicity as a chlorinated pyridinol. It may have endocrine-disrupting effects and has been associated with various health concerns. The compound is used as a biomarker for chlorpyrifos exposure in human biomonitoring studies.
ln Vitro
TCPy is not a pharmacologically active compound but rather a metabolite and environmental pollutant. In vitro studies have shown that TCPy may have endocrine-disrupting effects, including interference with estrogen and androgen signaling. It may also affect thyroid function. The compound's cytotoxicity has been assessed in various cell lines. However, its primary significance is as a biomarker of chlorpyrifos exposure rather than as a biologically active compound per se.
ln Vivo
TCPy is detected in human urine as a biomarker of chlorpyrifos exposure. The compound has been detected in environmental samples and in the urine of individuals exposed to chlorpyrifos, including agricultural workers and the general population. TCPy has been associated with various health effects in epidemiological studies, including neurodevelopmental effects in children and endocrine disruption. The compound is persistent in the environment and can accumulate in soil and water.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based assays for TCPy include analytical methods for its detection and quantification in environmental and biological samples. Standard methods include gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection. These methods are used for environmental monitoring, exposure assessment, and toxicokinetic studies. The compound's physicochemical properties, including solubility and stability, are determined using standard protocols.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for TCPy assess its cytotoxicity and potential endocrine-disrupting effects. Various cell lines (e.g., MCF-7 for estrogenic activity, HeLa for cytotoxicity) are treated with TCPy at various concentrations. Cell viability is measured using MTT or similar assays. Endocrine-disrupting activity is assessed using reporter gene assays for estrogen receptor (ER), androgen receptor (AR), or thyroid receptor (TR) activation. The compound's effects on gene expression and cell signaling can be studied using qPCR and Western blot.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies of TCPy are primarily toxicological and exposure-related. The compound has been studied in animal models to assess its toxicity and pharmacokinetics.

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (16.38 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 32.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

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. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
