Product Description
3-Trifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine ( HCl) is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for life Science related research.
3-Trifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine hydrochloride is a key synthetic intermediate used in the preparation of sitagliptin phosphate, a well-known DPP-4 inhibitor for type 2 diabetes. This compound features a triazolopyrazine core with a trifluoromethyl substituent and is supplied as the hydrochloride salt. It serves as a crucial building block in medicinal chemistry, enabling the construction of complex pharmaceutical molecules. Its primary value lies in its chemical reactivity and utility as a precursor, rather than any direct biological activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Sitagliptin impurity
This compound does not possess a specific biological target, as it is a chemical intermediate rather than a therapeutic agent. Its role is purely synthetic, providing the structural framework for the final active pharmaceutical ingredient, sitagliptin, which targets the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). The intermediate itself is not designed to interact with biological systems, and any biological effects are attributed to the downstream drug molecules synthesized from it.
ln Vitro
An impurity of Sitagliptin and intermediate for the synthesis of Sitagliptin
Biological in vitro activity is not applicable for this compound, as it is not evaluated for pharmacological effects. Its "activity" is chemical in nature, involving its ability to undergo specific transformations, such as coupling reactions, to form the sitagliptin structure. Researchers use it as a reagent to construct the pyrazine ring system, which is essential for the DPP-4 inhibitory activity of the final drug. No in vitro potency or efficacy data exist for this intermediate.
ln Vivo
No in vivo activity is reported for this compound, as it is not administered to living organisms for therapeutic or investigative purposes. Its use is confined to the chemistry laboratory, where it is transformed into active drugs. Any in vivo effects, such as glucose-lowering actions, are associated with sitagliptin, not with this precursor. The compound itself does not exhibit pharmacological properties in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
In a typical synthetic procedure, this intermediate is reacted with other chemical entities under controlled conditions to form sitagliptin phosphate. For example, it may undergo nucleophilic substitution or condensation reactions in the presence of appropriate bases and solvents. The reaction progress is monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the product is purified by crystallization or column chromatography to achieve the required purity for pharmaceutical use.
Cell Assay
This compound is not used in cell-based assays, as it is not a biologically active molecule. Its application is restricted to organic synthesis, and it is not added to cell culture media for any experimental purpose. Researchers focus on its chemical behavior, such as stability and reactivity, rather than its effects on cellular functions. Consequently, no standard cellular protocols exist for this intermediate.
Animal Protocol
Animal studies are not conducted with this intermediate, as it is not a drug candidate. It serves exclusively as a building block for the synthesis of drugs that are subsequently tested in vivo. For instance, sitagliptin, derived from this intermediate, is evaluated in diabetic animal models for its efficacy in lowering blood glucose. The intermediate itself is never administered to animals.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties are irrelevant for this chemical intermediate, as it is not intended for systemic exposure. Its physical and chemical characteristics, such as molecular weight (228.60 g/mol) and purity (typically ≥97%), are well documented. It is a solid powder that is stable under recommended storage conditions. Its solubility in organic solvents facilitates its use in synthetic reactions, but no absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion data are available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological information for this compound is not extensively detailed in public literature, as it is a research reagent. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a fume hood. It may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, and inhalation should be avoided. A safety data sheet (SDS) should be consulted for comprehensive hazard information before handling.

  • 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
