Product Description
2-Bromoacetamide inactivates alcohol dehydrogenase.
2-Bromoacetamide is a disinfection byproduct with the molecular formula C2H4BrNO and molecular weight 137.96 g/mol. It is a white crystalline solid that serves as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. Known for its electrophilic properties, the compound is employed in alkylation reactions and other modifications. It is also used as a precursor to dehydropeptidase I inactivator.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary targets of 2-bromoacetamide include liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH), which it can inactivate. The compound also interferes with microtubule and actin cytoskeletal function. As an alkylating agent, it reacts with nucleophiles such as thiol groups in cysteine residues, effectively blocking disulfide bond formation by alkylating free thiols.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that 2-bromoacetamide is a potent alkylating agent for a range of nucleophiles. It is highly effective for cysteine alkylation with a reduced propensity for side reactions compared to other alkylating agents. The compound can inactivate liver alcohol dehydrogenase and interfere with microtubule and actin cytoskeletal function in cell-free systems.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 2-bromoacetamide are primarily related to its toxicity as a disinfection byproduct. The compound is a potent developmental toxicant in animals. Its ability to inactivate liver alcohol dehydrogenase and interfere with cytoskeletal function suggests potential for systemic toxicity. However, specific in vivo pharmacological studies are limited.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular assays for 2-bromoacetamide typically involve characterizing its alkylating activity. The compound's reactivity with thiol-containing compounds can be monitored using spectrophotometric methods with Ellman's reagent or other thiol-detecting probes. Enzyme inactivation assays using purified liver alcohol dehydrogenase measure the compound's ability to inhibit enzyme activity. These cell-free systems allow for precise characterization of the compound's chemical reactivity.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for 2-bromoacetamide are conducted using various cell lines to assess its effects on cytoskeletal function and cell viability. Cells are treated with the compound, and microtubule and actin cytoskeletal integrity is assessed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Cell viability is measured using MTT or similar assays. These studies demonstrate the compound's interference with cytoskeletal function at the cellular level.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for 2-bromoacetamide are typically conducted in developmental toxicity studies. The compound is administered to pregnant animals, and developmental outcomes are assessed in the offspring. These studies have shown that 2-bromoacetamide is a potent developmental toxicant. Other in vivo studies may assess the compound's effects on liver function and alcohol dehydrogenase activity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 2-bromoacetamide are not well-characterized. As a small, polar molecule (MW 137.96 g/mol), it is likely absorbed following oral or inhalation exposure. The compound may be metabolized and excreted in urine. Its stability in biological fluids and its distribution in vivo have not been extensively studied. The compound is sensitive to light and heat.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 2-bromoacetamide indicate that it is a potent developmental toxicant in animals. As a disinfection byproduct, it is a concern for human health through exposure to chlorinated drinking water. The compound can inactivate liver alcohol dehydrogenase and interfere with cytoskeletal function, suggesting potential for hepatotoxicity and other systemic effects. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.

*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.

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)
