Product Description
4-Aminobutan-1-ol is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
4-Aminobutan-1-ol (CAS 13325-10-5), also known as 4-amino-1-butanol, is a bifunctional organic compound with the molecular formula C4H11NO and a molecular weight of 89.14 g/mol. It is a valuable building block in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis. This compound exhibits inhibitory activity against porcine liver transglutaminase 2 with a Ki of 280 µM, making it useful for biochemical experiments. It is used in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as a building block for the creation of more complex molecules, such as amino alcohols and heterocyclic compounds. It is also used in the synthesis of NSAIDs, cyclic amines, and polyamine transport ligands with specificity against human cancers.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-Aminobutan-1-ol inhibits porcine liver transglutaminase 2 with a Ki of 280 µM. Transglutaminase 2 is an enzyme involved in protein cross-linking and has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The compound does not have a specific receptor target but may interact with transglutaminase through its amino and hydroxyl functional groups. It is primarily used as a building block for synthesizing bioactive molecules rather than as a direct therapeutic agent.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 4-aminobutan-1-ol exhibits inhibitory activity against porcine liver transglutaminase 2 with a Ki of 280 µM. This inhibition may have implications for studying transglutaminase-related biological processes. The compound is also used as a building block for synthesizing NSAIDs, cyclic amines, and polyamine transport ligands. These synthesized compounds may have various biological activities, including anticancer properties. The parent compound itself is primarily a research reagent.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for 4-aminobutan-1-ol are limited as it is primarily a chemical intermediate and research reagent. The compound is not a drug candidate and is not typically administered to animals for efficacy testing. However, polyamine transport ligands synthesized from this compound have been developed with specificity against human cancers, suggesting potential in vivo applications for derivatives. The parent compound itself is not used in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
For enzyme inhibition assays using 4-aminobutan-1-ol, the compound is incubated with purified transglutaminase 2 in a buffer system (e.g., Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing Ca²⁺ and a substrate such as monodansylcadaverine) at 37°C. Enzyme activity is measured by monitoring the incorporation of the fluorescent substrate into a protein acceptor. Inhibitory potency (Ki) is determined from kinetic analysis of dose-response curves. Controls include enzyme alone and vehicle controls.
Cell Assay
For cell-based studies, 4-aminobutan-1-ol and its derivatives are tested in various cell lines depending on the intended application. For transglutaminase inhibition studies, cells expressing transglutaminase 2 are cultured in appropriate media and treated with varying concentrations of the compound. Enzyme activity is assessed by measuring protein cross-linking or by fluorescent substrate incorporation. For anticancer studies using polyamine transport ligands derived from this compound, cancer cell lines are treated, and cell viability and proliferation are assessed.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies with 4-aminobutan-1-ol derivatives may involve administration to tumor-bearing mice via oral gavage or intravenous injection. For polyamine transport ligands, efficacy against human cancers may be evaluated. Tumor growth inhibition, survival, body weight, and pharmacokinetic parameters are monitored. Tissue distribution and toxicity are assessed by histopathology. All procedures follow institutional animal care guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
4-Aminobutan-1-ol is a synthetic chemical compound and is not subject to comprehensive pharmacokinetic evaluation as a drug. Its physicochemical properties include a molecular weight of 89.14 g/mol and a molecular formula of C4H11NO. The compound is soluble in water and organic solvents due to its bifunctional nature (amino and hydroxyl groups). It is stable under normal storage conditions and is available in high purity for research use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of 4-aminobutan-1-ol has not been extensively characterized. As an amine and alcohol compound, it may cause skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritation. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed, including the use of personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, lab coat) and adequate ventilation. Ingestion or inhalation should be avoided. Appropriate first-aid measures should be in place.

  • 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)
