Product Description
3-Phenoxypropyl bromide is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
3-Phenoxypropyl bromide (CAS 588-63-6), also known as (3-bromopropoxy)benzene or 1-bromo-3-phenoxypropane, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C9H11BrO and a molecular weight of 215.09 g/mol. It appears as a clear to slightly brown liquid with a boiling point of approximately 262°C and a melting point of 7–8°C. This compound serves as a biochemical reagent and organic/chemical intermediate for biomedical research. It is particularly utilized as a reagent in the synthesis of diamidines for the study of myotonic dystrophy and in the preparation of phenoxyalkylbenzimidazoles with antitubercular activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
3-Phenoxypropyl bromide does not have a defined primary pharmacological target as it is primarily a chemical reagent and synthetic intermediate. In medicinal chemistry, the compound serves as an alkylating agent for introducing phenoxypropyl groups into drug candidates. The phenoxy moiety is a common pharmacophore in many biologically active compounds, often interacting with hydrophobic pockets in target proteins. The bromide functionality allows for nucleophilic substitution reactions to attach the phenoxypropyl group to various nucleophilic centers in drug molecules. The compound's role in synthesizing antitubercular agents and myotonic dystrophy therapeutics indicates that its derivatives target pathways relevant to these diseases.
ln Vitro
In vitro activity of 3-Phenoxypropyl bromide as a standalone compound is not typically evaluated, as its primary role is as a synthetic intermediate. The compound's biological activity would be assessed through the final drug molecules synthesized from this building block. In biochemical research, the compound may be used as an alkylating reagent for modifying biomolecules or as a reference compound. Its utility in synthesizing antitubercular phenoxyalkylbenzimidazoles suggests that derivatives of this compound possess antimicrobial activity, likely through inhibition of specific bacterial targets such as enzymes involved in cell wall synthesis or metabolic pathways.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 3-Phenoxypropyl bromide itself are not available, as the compound is not intended for direct administration as a therapeutic agent. It is classified as a biochemical reagent and organic synthesis intermediate. Any in vivo effects would be associated with the final drug products synthesized from this intermediate rather than the compound itself. Derivatives of this compound have been investigated for antitubercular activity and potential applications in myotonic dystrophy, suggesting that animal model studies would focus on these therapeutic areas using the final drug candidates rather than the intermediate.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding assays for 3-Phenoxypropyl bromide are not standard, as the compound is a chemical reagent rather than a drug candidate. If evaluated as a potential ligand, typical binding assays might involve radioligand displacement or surface plasmon resonance techniques. For enzyme inhibition studies, purified enzyme is incubated with varying concentrations of the compound in appropriate buffer systems. However, such studies are more commonly performed on the final pharmaceutical compounds derived from this building block rather than on the intermediate itself. The compound may serve as a reference or control in certain biochemical experiments.
Cell Assay
Cell-based in vitro experiments using 3-Phenoxypropyl bromide are not typically performed, as the compound is a research chemical and synthetic intermediate. When used in cell biology research, the compound might be incorporated into larger molecules that are then tested on cultured cell lines. Standard cell culture protocols would involve seeding cells in appropriate media at 37°C in a 5% CO₂ atmosphere, treating with test compounds at various concentrations, and assessing cell viability, proliferation, or other endpoints using assays such as MTT or flow cytometry. The compound's alkylating properties and potential cytotoxicity should be considered, and appropriate safety precautions must be followed.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with 3-Phenoxypropyl bromide itself, as it is a chemical reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is utilized in the synthesis of drug candidates that may subsequently be evaluated in animal models. For antitubercular candidates synthesized from this intermediate, typical in vivo protocols would involve administration via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection to mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with assessment of bacterial burden in lungs and survival rates. For myotonic dystrophy research, appropriate mouse models would be used. All animal studies must be conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 3-Phenoxypropyl bromide have not been characterized, as the compound is a chemical reagent for research use. As a small molecule with molecular weight 215.09 g/mol and boiling point 262°C, it is a liquid at room temperature with limited water solubility. The compound's LogP is estimated to be around 3.0–3.5, indicating moderate to high lipophilicity. The bromide functionality would be susceptible to nucleophilic displacement and metabolic dehalogenation. However, these properties are not studied for the compound itself, as it is not developed as a pharmaceutical. For drug discovery applications, the pharmacokinetic profile would be optimized at the final drug candidate stage.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 3-Phenoxypropyl bromide are limited, as the compound is handled as a research chemical in laboratory environments. As an alkylating agent containing a bromide leaving group, the compound should be handled with caution due to potential reactivity with biological nucleophiles. Standard safety precautions should be followed, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats. The compound may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Inhalation of vapor should be avoided, and adequate ventilation should be ensured. In case of contact, affected areas should be rinsed thoroughly with water. The compound should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture.
Additional Infomation
3-Phenoxypropyl bromide is a chemical research tool and synthetic intermediate rather than an approved pharmaceutical drug. Its primary applications are in organic synthesis and drug discovery, where it serves as a versatile alkylating agent for introducing phenoxypropyl groups into drug candidates. The compound has been utilized in the synthesis of diamidines for myotonic dystrophy research and phenoxyalkylbenzimidazoles with antitubercular activity. The phenoxy moiety is a common pharmacophore in many drugs, contributing to hydrophobic interactions with target proteins. No clinical trials or regulatory approvals have been documented for this compound itself as a therapeutic agent. The compound is commercially available as a research-grade chemical, supplied for laboratory synthesis and biomedical research.
