Product Description
Benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
Benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (N-Cbz-piperazine, 1-Z-Piperazine, CAS 31166-44-6) is a biochemical reagent and organic compound used in life science research. It has a molecular weight of 220.27 g/mol and the formula C₁₂H₁₆N₂O₂. It is a liquid with a density of 1.142 g/mL at 25°C and a boiling point of 158-161°C at 1.4 mmHg. The compound is used in the synthesis of serotonin 5-HT6 and dopamine D2 receptor ligands. It can also be used for the synthesis of ¹¹C-labeled ligands for imaging the vesicular acetylcholine transporter. It is also used as a sulfonylation reagent for organic synthesis and drug discovery.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate is a synthetic intermediate and protecting group reagent rather than a direct pharmacological agent. As a building block, it does not have specific biological receptors as its primary targets. The piperazine scaffold is a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry, found in many drugs including antipsychotics, antidepressants, and antihistamines. The Cbz (benzyloxycarbonyl) group serves as a protecting group for the piperazine nitrogen during synthesis. The compound is used in the synthesis of serotonin 5-HT6 and dopamine D2 receptor ligands and ¹¹C-labeled imaging agents.
ln Vitro
In vitro, benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate is used as a biochemical reagent and organic compound for biomedical research. It is used in the synthesis of serotonin 5-HT6 and dopamine D2 receptor ligands. It can also be used for the synthesis of ¹¹C-labeled ligands for imaging the vesicular acetylcholine transporter. It is also used as a sulfonylation reagent for organic synthesis and drug discovery. Cellular assays are typically performed on the final compounds synthesized from this building block. The compound's piperazine scaffold allows for various chemical transformations, making it valuable for drug discovery and radiopharmaceutical synthesis.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate is limited, as it is primarily a research reagent and synthetic intermediate. The compound is classified for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary therapeutic applications. However, 5-HT6 and D2 receptor ligands synthesized using this building block have been investigated for their therapeutic potential in neurological and psychiatric disorders. The compound's primary value lies in its use as a synthetic intermediate for preparing various pharmaceuticals and imaging agents. Specific in vivo data for the parent compound is not available.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate are not typically performed, as it is primarily a synthetic intermediate. The compound is used as a building block in the synthesis of 5-HT6 and D2 receptor ligands and ¹¹C-labeled imaging agents. A typical assay involves using the compound in chemical reactions, such as deprotection or coupling, to prepare final compounds. The compound is dissolved in organic solvents such as DMSO or ethanol. The resulting products can be evaluated for biological activity. Receptor binding assays for 5-HT6 or D2 receptors can be performed on the final synthesized compounds. IC₅₀ or binding affinity values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate derivatives typically evaluate receptor binding or activity. A standard protocol involves culturing cells expressing 5-HT6 or D2 receptors in growth medium at 37°C with 5% CO₂. Cells are treated with synthesized compounds at varying concentrations. Receptor activation is assessed by measuring downstream signaling readouts (e.g., cAMP accumulation for 5-HT6, calcium flux for D2). Cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar assays. EC₅₀ or IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. For imaging agents, cellular uptake and binding are evaluated using radiolabeled compounds.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate are not standard, as it is a synthetic intermediate rather than a therapeutic candidate. The compound is classified for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary applications. Any animal studies would typically be conducted on the final 5-HT6 or D2 receptor ligands or imaging agents synthesized using this building block. These studies would evaluate efficacy in disease models, pharmacokinetics, and safety, or imaging properties for PET studies. The compound's primary value lies in its use as a synthetic intermediate.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate is limited, as it is primarily a research reagent. The compound has a molecular weight of 220.27 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₂H₁₆N₂O₂. It is a liquid at room temperature with a density of 1.142 g/mL at 25°C and a boiling point of 158-161°C at 1.4 mmHg. As a piperazine derivative, it may undergo metabolic oxidation and conjugation. The Cbz group is typically cleaved during synthesis and is not present in the final active compounds. Specific ADME data is not available. The compound is stored in a dry, cool place.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Benzyl piperazine-1-carboxylate is classified for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary applications. Standard safety precautions include handling with appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, lab coat, safety goggles) in a well-ventilated area. The compound should be stored in a dry, cool place away from incompatible materials. Acute toxicity data is not readily available in the public literature. As with all research chemicals, appropriate laboratory safety practices should be followed. No specific LD₅₀ values or detailed toxicological profiles are available in the public domain.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
