In addition, 4-Penten -1-ol has been studied for its potential use as a bio-based solvent due to its low toxicity and biodegradability. It has also been studied for its antimicrobial properties against certain bacteria and fungi, which may make it useful in the development of new Antibacterial agents.
4-Penten-1-ol (Pent-4-en-1-ol, CAS 821-09-0) is an unsaturated alcohol with molecular formula C₅H₁₀O and molecular weight 86.13 g/mol. It appears as a colorless liquid. The compound is a biochemical reagent that can be used as a biological material or organic compound for life science related research. The terminal alkene and primary alcohol provide handles for further derivatization.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-Penten-1-ol does not have a defined pharmacological target of its own, as it is a synthetic intermediate. As an unsaturated alcohol, it serves as a building block for the synthesis of various biologically active compounds. The terminal alkene enables polymerization and cross-metathesis reactions, while the alcohol provides a handle for further functionalization.
ln Vitro
Pent-4-en-1-ol is a biochemical reagent that can be utilized in studies pertaining to life sciences as an organic substance or biological material.
In vitro, 4-penten-1-ol is primarily used as a chemical reagent and synthetic intermediate. As an unsaturated alcohol, it is a common building block for the construction of more complex molecules through reactions such as hydroboration, epoxidation, and oxidation. It is also used as a monomer in polymerization reactions.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 4-penten-1-ol itself are not available, as the compound is not intended for direct in vivo administration. Rather, it is a precursor used in the synthesis of drug candidates that are subsequently evaluated in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro chemical synthesis, 4-penten-1-ol is used as a building block for the preparation of various compounds. The terminal alkene can undergo hydroboration, epoxidation, dihydroxylation, and cross-metathesis reactions. The alcohol can be oxidized to the corresponding aldehyde or carboxylic acid, or converted to leaving groups for substitution reactions. Standard protocols involve reacting the compound with appropriate reagents under controlled conditions.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based experiments, 4-penten-1-ol is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of compounds that are tested in cell viability, proliferation, and cytotoxicity assays. The compound itself is not typically evaluated in cell-based assays. Standard cell culture protocols for test compounds synthesized from this intermediate involve dissolving the final product in DMSO and diluting to working concentrations.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies using 4-penten-1-ol are conducted on the final drug compounds synthesized from it, not on the intermediate itself. For pharmaceutical candidates derived from this building block, efficacy studies would typically be performed in mouse models of the relevant disease. Standard in vivo protocols involve administration to rodents via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 4-penten-1-ol as a standalone compound are not characterized in the literature. The compound has a molecular weight of 86.13 g/mol, which is very favorable for oral bioavailability. The alcohol may be subject to metabolic conjugation (glucuronidation, sulfation) or oxidation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
4-Penten-1-ol is a research chemical and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. As an alcohol, it may cause skin and eye irritation. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic or diagnostic applications. Specific LD₅₀ values and acute toxicity classifications are not available.
Additional Infomation
Reports have indicated that 4-penten-1-ol is present in rapeseed and Chinese cabbage, and relevant data is available for reference.
4-Penten-1-ol (Pent-4-en-1-ol, CAS 821-09-0) is primarily a research-grade chemical intermediate, not an FDA-approved pharmaceutical drug.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

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)
