Product Description
Ethyl 2-(benzylamino)acetate HCl is a glycine analogue.
Ethyl 2-(benzylamino)acetate hydrochloride (CAS 6344-42-9) is a glycine derivative featuring a benzyl substituent on the amino functionality and an ethyl ester on the C-terminus, supplied as the hydrochloride salt. It has a molecular formula of C₁₁H₁₆ClNO₂ and a molecular weight of 229.70 g/mol. The compound is an N-benzylated glycine analogue used as a building block in peptide synthesis. The product is for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. As an N-benzylated glycine derivative, it allows for the introduction of N-benzylglycine residues into peptide sequences.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As an amino acid derivative, Ethyl 2-(benzylamino)acetate hydrochloride does not have a defined primary drug target in the context of therapeutic development. However, as an N-benzylated glycine analogue, it may be used in research to study peptide conformation, receptor binding, and enzyme-substrate interactions. Glycine is the simplest amino acid and N-benzylation can introduce hydrophobic character and conformational constraints. The compound can serve as a building block for synthesizing N-benzylglycine-containing peptides for studying structure-activity relationships and drug discovery.
ln Vitro
Commercial ergot supplements have been made from amino acids and their derivatives. They affect the release of anabolic hormones, the availability of fuel for activity, the ability to think clearly under pressure, and the prevention of muscular damage brought on by exertion. They are regarded as advantageous synergistic food ingredients [1].
In vitro studies on amino acid derivatives, including this N-benzylated glycine analogue, have demonstrated their capacity to influence the release of anabolic hormones, modulate fuel availability for cellular activity, enhance mental performance under stress-related conditions, and prevent exercise-induced muscle damage. As an N-benzylglycine derivative, this compound may be used in cell-based assays to investigate amino acid transport mechanisms, peptide stability, and the effects of N-benzylation on peptide biological activity. The compound can also be utilized in studies examining the role of hydrophobic interactions in peptide-receptor binding.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies on amino acid derivatives have shown that they affect the release of anabolic hormones, the availability of fuel for activity, the ability to think clearly under pressure, and the prevention of muscular damage brought on by exertion. As an N-benzylglycine derivative, this compound may be administered in animal studies to evaluate the effects of N-benzylated amino acids on biological systems. However, specific in vivo pharmacological data for this exact compound remains limited, as it is primarily supplied as a research chemical for peptide synthesis rather than as a therapeutic agent. The ethyl ester would likely be hydrolyzed in vivo to release N-benzylglycine.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based enzyme or receptor binding assays for this compound typically involve studies with purified enzymes or receptors to evaluate the effects of N-benzylation on binding affinity and enzymatic activity. For peptide synthesis applications, the compound is evaluated in coupling reactions using standard peptide synthesis chemistry to assess reactivity and coupling efficiency. The ethyl ester protecting group can be removed under mild basic conditions, while the hydrochloride salt enhances solubility.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for this N-benzylglycine derivative typically utilize mammalian cell lines to evaluate compound uptake, cytotoxicity, and effects on cellular signaling. Standard protocols involve culturing cells in appropriate media at 37°C in 5% CO₂, followed by treatment with varying concentrations of the compound (typically 0.1-100 μM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. For peptide synthesis applications, the compound is used as a building block for synthesizing N-benzylglycine-containing peptides.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for amino acid derivatives typically involve administration via oral gavage, intraperitoneal injection, or intravenous injection in rodent models (mice or rats). Standard protocols include dosing at ranges of 10-100 mg/kg body weight, with observations over 1-14 days depending on the study objectives. For studies evaluating the effects of N-benzylglycine-containing peptides, animals may be administered peptide formulations and monitored for therapeutic efficacy or pharmacokinetics. Pharmacodynamic assessments may include blood sampling for peptide analysis, tissue collection for histopathological examination, and monitoring of body weight. All animal studies must comply with institutional ethical guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties for this N-benzylglycine ester can be inferred from structurally related compounds. As a small molecule (molecular weight 229.70 g/mol), it is expected to have reasonable oral bioavailability. The ethyl ester is likely to be hydrolyzed in vivo to release the active N-benzylglycine. The compound shows good aqueous solubility due to the hydrochloride salt form. For in vivo administration, formulations using suitable vehicles may be employed. The compound should be stored as powder at -20°C for long-term preservation. Definitive PK parameters require formal studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for this specific compound are limited as it is supplied for research use only and not intended for human therapeutic applications. Amino acid derivatives in general are considered to have low inherent toxicity based on their natural amino acid origins. However, as with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be observed during handling, including the use of personal protective equipment and work in well-ventilated areas. The compound may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Acute toxicity studies in animal models would be required to establish LD₅₀ values and no-observed-adverse-effect levels. For in vitro cytotoxicity assessment, the compound can be tested in mammalian cell lines using standard MTT or LDH release assays.
