Product Description
(Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
(Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid (CAS 42989-85-5), also known as 2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)aminooxy]acetic acid, is a protected aminooxy functional group derivative used in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C7H13NO5 with a molecular weight of 191.18 g/mol. This compound serves as a biochemical reagent and organic/chemical intermediate for biomedical research. It is employed to introduce a hydroxylamine moiety into peptides and for reaction with aldehydes to form oximes. The Boc-protecting group stabilizes the molecule during synthesis, preventing unwanted reactions. This compound is particularly valuable in chemical biology and medicinal chemistry for developing prodrugs or targeting specific proteins with controlled reactivity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid does not have a defined primary pharmacological target as it is primarily a chemical reagent and synthetic intermediate. In medicinal chemistry and chemical biology, the compound serves as a tool for introducing aminooxy functionalities into molecules. The aminooxy group reacts selectively with aldehydes and ketones to form stable oxime bonds, enabling the conjugation of peptides, proteins, and other biomolecules. This reactivity is exploited for developing prodrugs, targeting specific proteins, and studying protein interactions and metabolic pathways. The Boc-protecting group allows for selective deprotection to reveal the reactive aminooxy group.
ln Vitro
Protected derivatives of aminooxyacetic acid for conjugation to lipids and glycosides, chemoselective ligation of unprotected peptide fragments, incorporation of N-terminal O-alkylhydroxylamine moieties, and
In vitro activity of (Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid as a standalone compound is not typically evaluated, as its primary role is as a chemical reagent and synthetic intermediate. The compound's utility is demonstrated through its use in peptide synthesis and bioconjugation reactions. In biochemical research, the compound is used to introduce hydroxylamine moieties into peptides and other molecules, enabling the formation of oxime linkages with aldehyde-containing molecules. This chemistry is widely used in the preparation of peptide conjugates, protein labeling, and the development of targeted therapeutics.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for (Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid 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. The compound's role in drug discovery is to enable the synthesis of prodrugs and targeted therapeutics that may be evaluated in animal models. Researchers handling this compound should follow appropriate safety protocols for chemical handling in laboratory settings.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding assays for (Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid are not standard, as the compound is a chemical reagent rather than a drug candidate. The compound's reactivity with aldehydes makes it useful for studying aldehyde-containing biomolecules or for preparing probes for binding studies. If used in assay development, the compound might be employed to modify surfaces or biomolecules for capture or detection purposes. However, such applications are typically in the context of chemical biology and assay development rather than pharmacological characterization.
Cell Assay
Cell-based in vitro experiments using (Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid are not typically performed, as the compound is a research chemical and synthetic intermediate. When used in cell biology research, the compound might be employed to introduce aminooxy functionalities into molecules that are then tested on cultured cells for various applications including prodrug activation or targeted delivery. Standard cell culture protocols would be followed with appropriate safety precautions. The compound's reactivity with aldehydes should be considered, as aldehydes are present in cellular environments and may react with the aminooxy group after deprotection.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with (Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid itself, as it is a chemical reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is utilized in the synthesis of prodrugs and targeted therapeutics that may subsequently be evaluated in animal models. Typical in vivo protocols for such compounds would involve administration via appropriate routes to rodents, with assessment of therapeutic efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety. The aminooxy chemistry enables the design of prodrugs that release active drugs upon reaction with endogenous aldehydes or upon enzymatic cleavage of the protecting group. All animal studies must be conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of (Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid have not been characterized, as the compound is a chemical reagent for research use. As a small molecule with molecular weight 191.18 g/mol, it would be expected to have moderate aqueous solubility. The carboxylic acid group would be ionized at physiological pH, potentially limiting membrane permeability. The Boc-protecting group would be cleaved under acidic conditions or by esterases, revealing the reactive aminooxy group. 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 (Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid are limited, as the compound is handled as a research chemical in laboratory environments. 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 upon exposure. Inhalation of dust should be avoided, and adequate ventilation should be ensured. In case of contact, affected areas should be rinsed with plenty of water. The compound should be stored in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizing agents and moisture. Comprehensive toxicological studies have not been reported for this compound.
Additional Infomation
(Boc-aminooxy)acetic acid is a chemical research tool and synthetic intermediate rather than an approved pharmaceutical drug.
