It is a biochemical reagent and organic compound used in life science research. The compound has a molecular weight of 162.15 g/mol and the formula C₈H₆N₂O₂. It appears as a yellow crystalline powder with a melting point of 94-98°C. It is a reagent used in chemical synthesis and has been used in the synthesis of protein kinase and inosine monophosphate inhibitors, beta3 agonists, and CCK-1 receptor modulators.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
7-Nitroindole has been used in the synthesis of protein kinase and inosine monophosphate inhibitors, beta3 agonists, and CCK-1 receptor modulators. As a synthetic intermediate, it does not have specific biological targets. The indole scaffold is a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry, and the nitro group at the 7-position provides a handle for further functionalization. Derivatives of 7-nitroindole may interact with various kinases, receptors, and enzymes. The compound's nitro group can be reduced to an amine, enabling the synthesis of diverse analogs with potential biological activities.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 7-nitroindole is used as a biochemical reagent and organic compound for biomedical research. It is a reagent used in chemical synthesis and has been used in the synthesis of protein kinase inhibitors, inosine monophosphate inhibitors, beta3 agonists, and CCK-1 receptor modulators. Cellular assays are typically performed on the final compounds synthesized from this building block. The compound's indole scaffold allows for various chemical transformations, making it valuable for drug discovery and medicinal chemistry.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for 7-nitroindole 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 applications. However, protein kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds synthesized using this building block have been investigated for their therapeutic potential. The compound's primary value lies in its use as a synthetic intermediate for preparing compounds that may subsequently be evaluated in animal models. Specific in vivo data for the parent compound is not available.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for 7-nitroindole are not typically performed, as it is a synthetic intermediate. The compound is used as a building block in the synthesis of protein kinase inhibitors, inosine monophosphate inhibitors, beta3 agonists, and CCK-1 receptor modulators. A typical assay involves using the compound in chemical reactions to prepare final compounds. The compound is dissolved in organic solvents such as DMSO or ethanol. Enzyme inhibition assays with purified kinases or other targets can be performed to evaluate the activity of the final synthesized compounds. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for 7-nitroindole derivatives typically evaluate their biological activity. A standard protocol involves culturing appropriate cell lines in growth medium at 37°C with 5% CO₂. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of synthesized compounds for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT, CCK-8, or SRB assays. For kinase inhibitors, phosphorylation of downstream targets is evaluated by Western blot. For receptor modulators, signaling assays (e.g., calcium flux, cAMP levels) are performed. IC₅₀ or EC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 7-nitroindole 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 protein kinase inhibitors or other compounds synthesized using this building block. These studies would evaluate efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety in appropriate animal models. The compound's primary value lies in its use as a synthetic intermediate.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for 7-nitroindole is limited, as it is primarily a research reagent. The compound has a molecular weight of 162.15 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₈H₆N₂O₂. It is a solid at room temperature with a melting point of 94-98°C. It is stored as a powder at room temperature. As a nitroindole, it may undergo metabolic reduction of the nitro group to an amine and oxidation of the indole ring. Specific ADME data is not available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
7-Nitroindole 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.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

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 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
