The compound's branched-chain structure may influence its metabolism and biological activity. Its role as a solvent and chemical intermediate suggests it can be used to generate compounds with diverse biological targets. Further research is needed to identify any direct biological targets of the parent compound.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies of 4-Methyl-1-pentanol have focused on its role as a solvent and chemical intermediate. The compound's physical and chemical properties have been characterized. It is used as a solvent in various chemical reactions and as a building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and plasticizers. Its purity and identity are assessed using analytical chemistry methods. These in vitro studies provide foundational data for understanding the compound's utility in industrial and research applications.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of 4-Methyl-1-pentanol are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a solvent and chemical intermediate. As an alcohol, it would be metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to the corresponding aldehyde and acid. However, comprehensive in vivo studies specifically targeting 4-Methyl-1-pentanol are not well documented in the available literature. Further research is needed to fully characterize its in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro chemical assays for 4-Methyl-1-pentanol involve testing its purity and properties as a solvent and chemical intermediate. The compound's purity and identity are assessed using analytical chemistry methods such as gas chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Its physical properties such as boiling point, density, and solubility are characterized. All assays are performed with appropriate controls and standardized protocols to ensure reproducibility of results.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for 4-Methyl-1-pentanol are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a solvent and chemical intermediate rather than a biological agent. Its potential cytotoxicity would be evaluated in the context of its use as a solvent. Cells could be treated with varying concentrations of the compound and cell viability assessed using MTT or similar colorimetric assays. However, comprehensive cell-based studies specifically targeting 4-Methyl-1-pentanol are not well documented in the available literature.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for 4-Methyl-1-pentanol would be conducted to evaluate its safety profile as a solvent and chemical intermediate. Animals would be administered the compound and observed for signs of toxicity. Parameters assessed would include body weight, organ weights, and histopathology. Control groups receiving vehicle alone would be included for comparison. All procedures would comply with institutional animal care and use committee guidelines. Comprehensive in vivo studies are not well documented in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of 4-Methyl-1-pentanol reflect its nature as a small alcohol. It has a molecular weight consistent with its formula C6H14O. As a lipophilic alcohol, it is readily absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. The compound is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to the corresponding aldehyde and acid, which are further metabolized and excreted. Complete pharmacokinetic profiling including half-life, clearance, and bioavailability would require further systematic studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of 4-Methyl-1-pentanol has been evaluated in the context of its use as a solvent and research chemical. As an alcohol, it may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Ingestion or inhalation of large amounts may cause central nervous system depression. Proper handling procedures including use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are recommended when working with pure compound. The compound is not approved for human therapeutic use and is intended for research purposes only.

*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. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • 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
