Product Description
N-(4-Aminobenzoyl)-beta-alanine is an alanine analogue.
N-(4-Aminobenzoyl)-beta-alanine (3-[(4-aminobenzoyl)amino]propanoic acid, CAS 7377-08-4) is a fragment molecule that serves as an important scaffold for molecular linking, expansion, and modification. Its molecular formula is C10H12N2O3 with a molecular weight of 208.22 g/mol. It is a white to off-white solid provided for research and synthesis applications. This compound is functionally related to a beta-amino acid and contains both an organooxygen and an organonitrogen functional group. It is a metabolite of BX661A, a therapeutic agent used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
This compound does not have a specific biological target; it functions as a chemical building block and fragment molecule for drug discovery. As a beta-alanine derivative, it provides a structural basis and research tool for the design and screening of novel drug candidates. It can be used for molecular splicing, expansion, and modification, serving as a versatile scaffold in medicinal chemistry. The compound is functionally related to beta-amino acids and can be used to study the structure-activity relationships of beta-amino acid-containing bioactive molecules.
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.

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)
