Product Description
2-Amino-4-bromobenzoic acid is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
2-Amino-4-bromobenzoic acid (CAS 20776-50-5), also known as 4-bromoanthranilic acid, is a halogenated benzoic acid derivative with the chemical formula C₇H₆BrNO₂ and a molecular weight of 216.03 g/mol. It is an anthranilic acid derivative featuring a bromine atom at the 4-position and an amino group at the 2-position. 2-Amino-4-bromobenzoic acid is a high-purity biochemical reagent (>97%) suitable for use as a biomaterial or organic synthesis intermediate in life science research and drug discovery. It appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of 225-229°C. The compound is a versatile building block in organic synthesis, used in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and other bioactive molecules.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2-Amino-4-bromobenzoic acid does not have a defined biological target as it is a synthetic reagent rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its function is chemical—it serves as a building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. The anthranilic acid scaffold is a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry, found in numerous bioactive compounds including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other pharmaceuticals. The amino and carboxylic acid groups provide handles for diverse chemical transformations, while the bromine enables cross-coupling reactions. The compound itself is not evaluated for biological activity against specific targets.
ln Vitro
2-Amino-4-bromobenzoic acid is a crucial component of organic synthesis and an intermediary for colors, insecticides, medicines, and other products.
As a chemical reagent, 2-amino-4-bromobenzoic acid exhibits no intrinsic pharmacological activity in vitro. Its utility is demonstrated in organic synthesis as a building block for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds. The amino group enables diazotization, acylation, and other transformations, while the carboxylic acid enables amidation and esterification. The bromine substituent enables Suzuki-Miyaura and other cross-coupling reactions. The compound is used in the synthesis of various drug candidates including kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. 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.
ln Vivo
2-Amino-4-bromobenzoic acid does not exhibit in vivo biological activity as it is not a therapeutic agent. The compound is used as a research reagent for organic synthesis. 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 bromoanthranilic acid scaffold for constructing complex molecules with potential therapeutic applications.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable to 2-amino-4-bromobenzoic acid 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. Melting point determination (225-229°C) and HPLC analysis (>97% purity) are used for quality control. For synthetic applications, typical reactions include diazotization followed by Sandmeyer or other coupling reactions, amidation of the carboxylic acid, and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling at the bromine position. The resulting products are then evaluated for biological activity.
Cell Assay
Cell-based experiments are not performed with 2-amino-4-bromobenzoic acid 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 2-amino-4-bromobenzoic acid, 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 2-amino-4-bromobenzoic acid are not characterized as it is not a drug substance. Based on its physicochemical properties (molecular weight 216.03, logP approximately 2.0-2.5), the compound would be expected to have moderate oral bioavailability if administered. The amino group may undergo N-acetylation, and the carboxylic acid may be conjugated or excreted. The bromine may affect metabolism. 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
2-Amino-4-bromobenzoic acid 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 should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture. 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
2-Amino-4-bromobenzoic acid is a versatile building block in organic synthesis for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds. It is also known as 4-bromoanthranilic acid. The anthranilic acid scaffold is a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry, found in numerous drugs including NSAIDs and other pharmaceuticals. The compound has not undergone clinical trials and is not approved as a pharmaceutical. Its mechanism of action is chemical—serving as a precursor for the synthesis of biologically active bromoaniline derivatives.
