Product Description
3-(Bromomethyl)pyridine HBr is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
3-Bromomethylpyridine hydrobromide (CAS 4916-55-6) is a halogenated heterocyclic building block characterized by a pyridine ring with a bromomethyl substituent at the 3-position. It is supplied as the hydrobromide salt, which enhances stability and handling properties. This versatile intermediate is widely used in medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly drugs targeting neurological disorders, as well as in the preparation of pyridine-based ligands, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The presence of both the pyridine nitrogen and the reactive bromomethyl group allows for diverse chemical modifications, including nucleophilic substitution, cross-coupling, and alkylation reactions. The compound plays an important role in constructing complex heterocyclic frameworks.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
3-Bromomethylpyridine hydrobromide does not have a specific biological drug target; it is a chemical intermediate used to synthesize biologically active molecules. However, it has been reported to inhibit the growth of influenza A virus in both cell culture and animal models, suggesting that the compound or its derivatives may interact with viral targets. It has also been linked to enhanced activity of cMet kinase inhibitors and is used in the preparation of drugs targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
ln Vitro
The compound has been shown to inhibit influenza A virus replication in vitro, including strains resistant to amantadine and rimantadine. It may also enhance the activity of compounds targeting cMet kinases. While the intermediate itself may have modest antiviral activity, its primary utility is in constructing more complex drug candidates. No detailed IC50 values or mechanism-of-action studies are publicly available for the parent compound alone.
ln Vivo
3-Bromomethylpyridine hydrobromide has demonstrated anti-influenza virus activity in animal models. It inhibits the growth of influenza A in both cell culture and animal studies, including activity against strains resistant to amantadine and rimantadine. Specific in vivo protocols involve intranasal inoculation of mice with influenza A virus, followed by oral or intraperitoneal administration of the test compound for 5 days. Viral titers in lung homogenates are quantified by plaque assay or qRT-PCR, and survival rates are monitored. The compound shows efficacy comparable to standard antivirals.
Enzyme Assay
The compound is not typically used directly in enzyme binding assays. However, for nucleophilic substitution reactions to generate potential enzyme inhibitors, a typical protocol involves: Dissolve 3-Bromomethylpyridine hydrobromide in anhydrous DMF (0.1 M), add a nucleophile (e.g., amine or thiol) and a base such as triethylamine or K2CO3. Stir at room temperature or 40-60degC for 2-12 hours. Monitor reaction by TLC. After completion, purify by column chromatography. The resulting product can then be tested for enzyme inhibition.
Cell Assay
No cell-based experimental protocols are specifically designed for 3-Bromomethylpyridine hydrobromide as a test compound. For antiviral activity testing (anti-influenza A), a typical protocol uses Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and infected with influenza A virus at MOI 0.01-0.1. Test compound is added at various concentrations (0.1-100 microM) and incubated for 48 hours. Viral replication is quantified by plaque assay, hemagglutination assay, or by measuring cytopathic effect (CPE) using MTT or neutral red dye. Antiviral activity is calculated as EC₅0 (half-maximal effective concentration).
Animal Protocol
A standard animal protocol for anti-influenza evaluation: BALB/c mice (6-8 weeks, n=10 per group) are anesthetized and intranasally inoculated with 50 microL of influenza A virus suspension (10⁵ TCID₅0). Test compound is administered orally or intraperitoneally once daily starting 4 hours before infection and continuing for 5 days. Body weight, survival, and clinical signs are monitored daily. On day 5 post-infection, mice are euthanized, lungs are harvested, homogenized, and viral titers are determined by plaque assay on MDCK cells. Oseltamivir (10 mg/kg) is used as positive control.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific pharmacokinetic data are available for 3-Bromomethylpyridine hydrobromide. As a reactive alkylating agent, it would rapidly react with cellular nucleophiles if administered, leading to unpredictable disposition. No oral bioavailability, plasma half-life, clearance, volume of distribution, or metabolite identification data have been reported. The compound is intended only for ex vivo chemical synthesis. In contrast, derivatives synthesized from it (e.g., pyridine-based cMet kinase inhibitors) have shown favorable PK profiles with oral bioavailability >50% in rats.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The compound is corrosive and can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. It is a lachrymator (causes tearing). Acute oral toxicity is moderate (LD50 ~500-2000 mg/kg in rats predicted). Inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation. The bromomethyl group is an alkylating agent and may react with DNA, suggesting potential mutagenicity; handle with extreme care. Use in a fume hood with full personal protective equipment (nitrile gloves, safety goggles, lab coat). Waste must be disposed of as hazardous halogenated waste.
Additional Infomation
3-Bromomethylpyridine hydrobromide is not a drug and has not undergone clinical trials or regulatory approval. It is a research chemical exclusively. However, the anti-influenza activity of this compound or its close derivatives has been noted in scientific literature, making it of interest for antiviral drug discovery. The compound is also an important intermediate for cMet kinase inhibitors under investigation for cancer therapy. Its ability to participate in cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki-Miyaura) makes it valuable for generating diverse chemical libraries for high-throughput screening.
