Product Description
RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] (CAS 192139-92-7), also known as (R,R)-N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine(chloro)(p-cymene)ruthenium(II), is a chiral ruthenium-based catalyst with the chemical formula C₃₁H₃₅ClN₂O₂RuS and a molecular weight of 636.21 g/mol. It appears as a yellow to orange powder. This compound is a Noyori-type asymmetric transfer hydrogenation catalyst developed by the Noyori group, featuring a ruthenium center coordinated to a chiral Ts-DPEN ligand and a p-cymene ligand. The catalyst is widely used for the enantioselective reduction of ketones and imines to produce chiral alcohols and amines. It is a high-purity biochemical reagent (>97%) suitable for use as a biomaterial or organic synthesis intermediate in life science research and drug discovery.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] does not have a biological target as it is a transition metal catalyst rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its function is chemical—it catalyzes asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions, enabling the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones and imines to chiral alcohols and amines. The ruthenium center facilitates hydride transfer from a hydrogen donor (typically formate or 2-propanol) to the substrate, while the chiral Ts-DPEN ligand induces enantioselectivity. The compound itself is not designed for therapeutic use and has no specific biological targets. Its interactions are limited to chemical substrates in catalytic reactions, and it is not evaluated for biological activity.
ln Vitro
In vitro, RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] exhibits no pharmacological activity as it is a chemical catalyst. Its utility is demonstrated in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions, where it catalyzes the enantioselective reduction of ketones and imines with high enantioselectivity (typically >90% ee). The catalyst is widely used in the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. In cell-based assays, the compound is not tested for biological activity. Its role is strictly chemical—providing enantioselective reduction capabilities for the synthesis of chiral drug intermediates. The compound is used exclusively in organic synthesis and catalysis research, not in biological or pharmacological screening.
ln Vivo
RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] is not a pharmacologically active agent and does not exhibit in vivo therapeutic activity. It is used as a chemical catalyst in organic synthesis for the preparation of enantiomerically enriched compounds. The compound is not intended for human or animal exposure. It is used exclusively in laboratory and industrial settings for chemical synthesis. No therapeutic efficacy has been reported for this compound. The compound is not administered to animals in pharmacological studies and has no known physiological effects. Its role is strictly catalytic—facilitating enantioselective reduction reactions in organic synthesis for drug discovery and development.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] focus on its catalytic activity rather than receptor binding. A standard protocol for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation involves dissolving the catalyst (0.1-1 mol%) in a suitable solvent (e.g., 2-propanol or formic acid/triethylamine mixture) with the substrate (ketone or imine). The reaction is typically carried out at room temperature to 80°C for 2-24 hours. Conversion and enantiomeric excess are monitored by GC or HPLC using chiral columns. For quality control, the catalyst is characterized by NMR (¹H, ¹³C), elemental analysis, and HPLC purity (>97%). The compound should be stored under inert atmosphere at room temperature.
Cell Assay
Cell-based experiments are not performed with RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN], as it is a chemical catalyst rather than a test compound for biological activity. The compound is used exclusively in chemical synthesis and catalysis applications. No cytotoxicity or cell viability studies are conducted with this compound as it is not intended for biological applications. The compound is handled with standard laboratory precautions for metal catalysts, including the use of gloves, safety glasses, and working in a fume hood. The compound is not evaluated in cellular systems due to its lack of biological activity and potential toxicity as a heavy metal complex.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN], as it is a chemical catalyst rather than a therapeutic test article. The compound is not used in pharmacological or toxicological studies in animals. Its applications are limited to chemical synthesis and catalysis research. No in vivo efficacy or safety studies have been reported for this compound. The compound is not administered to animals as it is not intended for biological or therapeutic applications. Any ruthenium residues in drug substances synthesized using this catalyst are removed during purification processes.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] are not characterized as it is not a drug substance. Based on its physicochemical properties (molecular weight 636.21, high lipophilicity, metal-containing), the compound would be expected to have very low oral bioavailability due to poor water solubility and high molecular weight. If absorbed, ruthenium complexes can be toxic and may interact with proteins and DNA. However, the compound is not intended for human exposure and has not been evaluated in formal pharmacokinetic studies. In pharmaceutical synthesis, residual ruthenium is removed during workup to meet regulatory limits for heavy metals in drug substances.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] may be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin. The compound contains ruthenium, which can be toxic. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of gloves, safety glasses, and working in a fume hood. The compound should be stored at room temperature under inert atmosphere. No acute toxicity data are available. The compound is not intended for drug, household, or other uses. Special care should be taken to avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. In case of exposure, rinse with water and seek medical attention.
Additional Infomation
RuCl(p-cymene)[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] is a widely used Noyori-type asymmetric transfer hydrogenation catalyst developed by the Noyori group. It is also known as (R,R)-Ts-DPEN-RuCl(p-cymene). The catalyst enables the enantioselective reduction of ketones and imines to chiral alcohols and amines with high enantioselectivity, making it invaluable in the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The compound has not undergone clinical trials and is not approved as a pharmaceutical.
