Product Description
(R)-N-Benzyl-1-phenylethanamine is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
(+)-Benzylphenethylamine (CAS 38235-77-7), also known as (S)-(-)-N-benzyl-1-phenylethylamine, is a chiral amine with the chemical formula C₁₅H₁₇N and a molecular weight of 211.30 g/mol. It is a secondary amine featuring a benzyl group and a phenethylamine backbone with a chiral center. (+)-Benzylphenethylamine is a high-purity biochemical reagent (>98%) suitable for use as a biomaterial or organic synthesis intermediate in life science research and drug discovery. It appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid with an optical rotation of [α]₂₀/D -4.0° to -6.0° (c=1, methanol). The compound is a chiral building block used in organic synthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(+)-Benzylphenethylamine does not have a defined biological target as it is a chiral building block rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its function is chemical—it serves as a chiral amine building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. The phenethylamine scaffold is found in numerous bioactive compounds including neurotransmitters and pharmaceuticals. The benzyl group provides a handle for further functionalization and a hydrophobic moiety for interactions with biological targets. When incorporated into pharmaceutical compounds, the chiral amine scaffold can interact with biological targets through hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, and hydrophobic contacts. The compound itself is not evaluated for biological activity against specific targets.
ln Vitro
As a chemical reagent, (+)-benzylphenethylamine exhibits no intrinsic pharmacological activity in vitro. Its utility is demonstrated in organic synthesis as a chiral building block for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and other biologically active compounds. The amine functionality enables reductive amination, acylation, and other transformations. The compound is used as a chiral auxiliary or resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis. In cell-based assays, the compound itself is not tested for biological activity. Instead, the products synthesized from this reagent are evaluated for their pharmacological properties. The compound is used exclusively as a chiral intermediate in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry research.
ln Vivo
(+)-Benzylphenethylamine does not exhibit in vivo biological activity as it is not a therapeutic agent. The compound is used as a chiral building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Any in vivo effects would be associated with the final products synthesized from this intermediate, not with the intermediate itself. The compound is not administered to animals in pharmacological studies and has no known physiological effects. Its role is strictly chemical—providing a versatile chiral phenethylamine scaffold for constructing complex molecules with potential therapeutic applications in various disease areas.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable to (+)-benzylphenethylamine as it is not a biologically active compound. Standard characterization protocols for this reagent include nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR) and mass spectrometry to confirm structure and purity. Optical rotation measurement is used to confirm enantiomeric purity. Boiling point determination and GC or HPLC analysis (>98% purity) are used for quality control. For synthetic applications, typical reactions include reductive amination, acylation of the amine, and use as a chiral auxiliary or resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis. The resulting products are then evaluated for biological activity.
Cell Assay
Cell-based experiments are not performed with (+)-benzylphenethylamine itself, as it is a chemical reagent rather than a test compound for biological activity. When the compound is used to synthesize drug candidates, those products may be tested in cell culture using standard protocols. Typically, final compounds are dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium to achieve desired concentrations (typically 0.1-100 µM). Cells are incubated for 24-72 hours, and effects on cell viability, proliferation, or specific signaling pathways are measured using appropriate assays. The intermediate itself is not evaluated in cellular systems.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with (+)-benzylphenethylamine, as it is a research reagent for chemical synthesis. When the compound is used to synthesize drug candidates, those final products undergo standard preclinical evaluation. Typical protocols for drug candidates include pharmacokinetic studies in rodents (oral or intravenous administration, blood sampling for LC-MS/MS analysis), efficacy studies in disease models, and toxicology studies (acute and repeated-dose toxicity, histopathology). These studies evaluate the safety and efficacy of the final drug molecules, not the synthetic intermediate.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of (+)-benzylphenethylamine are not characterized as it is not a drug substance. Based on its physicochemical properties (molecular weight 211.30, logP approximately 3.0-4.0), the compound would be expected to have good oral bioavailability if administered. It would likely undergo metabolism via cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation and N-dealkylation. However, the compound is not intended for human exposure and has not been evaluated in formal pharmacokinetic studies. For drug candidates synthesized from this intermediate, pharmacokinetic properties are determined as part of drug development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
(+)-Benzylphenethylamine may cause skin and eye irritation. 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 is a liquid and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition. No acute toxicity, mutagenicity, or carcinogenicity data are available. The compound is not intended for drug, household, or other uses. In case of contact, rinse with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Additional Infomation
(+)-Benzylphenethylamine is a chiral amine building block used in organic synthesis for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and other biologically active compounds. It is also known as (S)-(-)-N-benzyl-1-phenylethylamine. The compound is used as a chiral auxiliary or resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis. The phenethylamine scaffold is a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry, found in numerous drugs and neurotransmitters. The compound has not undergone clinical trials and is not approved as a pharmaceutical. Its mechanism of action is chemical—serving as a chiral building block for asymmetric synthesis.
