| Targets |
1H-Imidazole-2-carbaldehyde has been identified as a novel protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitor with an important application to treat type-2 diabetes. PTP1B is a key regulator of insulin signaling, and its inhibition is a validated target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

| ln Vitro |
A new protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitor called imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde has significant uses in preventing type 2 diabetes. The amino acids β-alanine and 2-aminobenzoic acid are used to create a condensation process that yields ligands with tridentate Schiff base carboxylates. Additionally, it has been engaged in the allylation of aldimines guided by imidazoles.
In vitro, 1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of several pharmaceuticals. Its derivatives have been investigated for their potential in developing anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents. As an aldehyde-containing imidazole, it is a valuable building block for the synthesis of various bioactive compounds. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for 1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde as a therapeutic agent are not extensively documented. As a PTP1B inhibitor, it may have potential for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but specific in vivo efficacy studies are not well-documented in the public literature.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For in vitro enzyme inhibition assays, 1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde can be evaluated for PTP1B inhibitory activity. Standard protocols involve incubating the compound with recombinant PTP1B enzyme and measuring enzyme activity using a chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves to quantify inhibitory potency.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell-based experiments, 1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of compounds that are tested in cell viability, proliferation, and cytotoxicity assays. The compound itself may be evaluated for its effects on insulin signaling in cell-based assays. Standard cell culture protocols involve dissolving the compound in DMSO and diluting to working concentrations.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies using 1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde are conducted on the final drug compounds synthesized from it, not on the intermediate itself. For potential anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer agents derived from this building block, efficacy studies would typically be performed in mouse models of the relevant disease.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO: 25 mg/mL (260.17 mM)

|---|---|
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (26.02 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (26.02 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
