Product Description
Azetidine HCl is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
Azetidine hydrochloride (CAS 36520-39-5), also known as trimethyleneimine hydrochloride, is a four-membered cyclic amine with the chemical formula C₃H₈ClN and a molecular weight of 93.56 g/mol. It appears as a white to almost white powder to crystal with a melting point >300°C and a flash point of 152°C. Azetidine hydrochloride is hygroscopic and soluble in water. It is a fragment molecule that serves as an important scaffold for molecular linking, expansion, and modification, providing a structural basis and research tool for the design and screening of novel drug candidates.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Azetidine hydrochloride does not have a defined biological target as it is a chemical scaffold rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its function is chemical—it serves as a building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. The azetidine ring is a strained four-membered nitrogen heterocycle that can be used as a rigid scaffold in drug design. When incorporated into pharmaceutical compounds, the azetidine scaffold can interact with biological targets through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The compound itself is not evaluated for biological activity against specific targets.
ln Vitro
As a chemical scaffold, azetidine hydrochloride exhibits no intrinsic pharmacological activity in vitro. Its utility is demonstrated as a fragment molecule that serves as an important scaffold for molecular linking, expansion, and modification in drug discovery. The compound provides a structural basis and research tool for the design and screening of novel drug candidates and is commonly used in drug discovery and drug synthesis. In cell-based assays, the compound itself is not tested for biological activity. Instead, the products synthesized from this scaffold are evaluated for their pharmacological properties. The compound is used exclusively as a chemical intermediate and fragment scaffold in medicinal chemistry research.
ln Vivo
Azetidine hydrochloride does not exhibit in vivo biological activity as it is not a therapeutic agent. The compound is used as a fragment scaffold for drug discovery research. 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 azetidine scaffold for constructing complex molecules.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable to azetidine hydrochloride 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 (>300°C) and HPLC analysis (>95% purity) are used for quality control. For synthetic applications, typical reactions involve the use of azetidine as a building block for the synthesis of pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds through N-alkylation, acylation, and ring-opening reactions.
Cell Assay
Cell-based experiments are not performed with azetidine hydrochloride 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 azetidine hydrochloride, 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 azetidine hydrochloride are not characterized as it is not a drug substance. Based on its physicochemical properties (molecular weight 93.56, high water solubility, logP approximately -0.5), the compound would be expected to have low oral bioavailability due to poor membrane permeability. It would likely be distributed primarily in extracellular fluid and rapidly cleared via renal excretion. The compound may be metabolized via N-oxidation or ring-opening reactions. However, the compound is not intended for human exposure and has not been evaluated in formal pharmacokinetic studies. For drug candidates synthesized from this scaffold, pharmacokinetic properties are determined as part of drug development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Azetidine hydrochloride is hygroscopic and should be stored under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C. 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 moisture. No acute toxicity data are available. The compound is not intended for drug, household, or other uses.
Additional Infomation
Azetidine hydrochloride is a fragment molecule that serves as an important scaffold for molecular linking, expansion, and modification in drug discovery. It is also known as trimethyleneimine hydrochloride. The compound provides a structural basis and research tool for the design and screening of novel drug candidates and is commonly used in drug discovery and drug synthesis. It has not undergone clinical trials and is not approved as a pharmaceutical. Its mechanism of action is chemical—serving as a scaffold for the synthesis of biologically active azetidine derivatives.
