| 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].
This compound is not a therapeutic agent and does not have established in vitro biological activity in a pharmacological sense. Its value lies in its chemical utility as a fragment molecule and building block for drug discovery. As a metabolite of BX661A, it may have relevance to the therapeutic effects of that compound in ulcerative colitis, particularly in chemotaxis and reactive oxygen species production in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. However, the compound itself is primarily used as a research tool rather than as a directly active pharmacological agent. |
| ln Vivo |
This compound is not administered in vivo as a therapeutic agent. It is a research chemical utilized as a building block and fragment molecule in drug discovery. The final synthetic products derived from this scaffold, not the fragment itself, would be the subject of in vivo pharmacological testing for therapeutic efficacy and safety. As a metabolite of BX661A, it may be formed in vivo following administration of the parent drug, but it is not administered as a therapeutic agent itself.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular enzyme/receptor binding assays are not typically performed with this compound as it is a fragment molecule rather than a biologically active drug. Its use is in organic synthesis and drug discovery as a scaffold for molecular linking, expansion, and modification. It provides a structural basis for the design and screening of novel drug candidates. The compound can be used in fragment-based drug discovery approaches to build libraries of compounds for screening against biological targets.
|
| Cell Assay |
This compound is not used in cell-based assays as a therapeutic agent. Its role is as a research chemical, fragment molecule, and synthetic building block for drug discovery. It should be stored as a solid at room temperature in a cool and dry place. Purity is typically ≥95%. It is soluble in common organic solvents and can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of more complex molecules for biological testing. The product is for research purposes only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments do not involve N-(4-Aminobenzoyl)-beta-alanine as a test article. It is a chemical intermediate and fragment molecule used in the synthesis of drug candidates. If used to synthesize a therapeutic compound, that final product would be subjected to animal testing. The compound is a metabolite of BX661A, a therapeutic agent for ulcerative colitis, and may be studied in animal models as part of the metabolic profile of that drug. However, the fragment itself is not administered as a therapeutic agent.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties are not applicable to this compound as it is not a drug. It is a small molecule (MW 208.22 g/mol) with the formula C10H12N2O3. Its properties are relevant for chemical handling and storage rather than for systemic exposure studies. As a metabolite of BX661A, its formation and elimination would be part of the pharmacokinetic profile of the parent drug, but the fragment itself is not studied as a drug candidate.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity of N-(4-Aminobenzoyl)-beta-alanine is not extensively documented, as it is a research chemical and fragment molecule not intended for human or veterinary use. It should be handled with standard laboratory precautions, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area. The compound is a solid at room temperature and should be stored in a cool, dry place. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or other medical applications.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
