Product Description
2-Biphenylboronic acid is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
2-Biphenylboronic acid (CAS 4688-76-0) is an organoboron compound with molecular formula C₁₂H₁₁BO₂ and molecular weight 198.03 g/mol. It features a biphenyl structure with a boronic acid functional group, which allows it to interact with various biological molecules. The compound is a biochemical reagent used as a biomaterial for life science research and as a sulfonylation reagent for organic synthesis and drug discovery. It is commonly used in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling chemistry for C-C bond formation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2-Biphenylboronic acid (2-BPBA) has demonstrated diverse biological activities, particularly as an inhibitor of β-lactamases, enzymes produced by bacteria that confer resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. It shows inhibitory activity against AmpC (IC₅₀ = 0.5 µM), KPC-2 (IC₅₀ = 0.8 µM), and OXA-24 (IC₅₀ = 5.0 µM). The compound also interferes with auxin transport proteins in plants, affecting organogenesis and leaf development.
ln Vitro
2-Biphenylboronic acid is a substrate for the cross-coupling of benzyl acetate with palladium to produce diarylmethane. It is a reactant in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of quinoline carboxylates, alkenyl tosylate and mesylate esters, dibromovinyl precursors, and aryl halides. It is engaged in hydroxylation to phenols, oxidative coupling with alkynes, and intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation for the production of chiral tetralin.
In vitro, 2-biphenylboronic acid exhibits antimicrobial activity by inhibiting β-lactamases. It has demonstrated significant free radical scavenging ability in antioxidant assays, with a DPPH scavenging activity IC₅₀ of 0.14 µg/mL and a CUPRAC A₀.₅ of 1.73 µg/mL. The compound has been evaluated against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains, showing enhanced activity when combined with meropenem. In plant models, it induces phenocopies affecting organogenesis and leaf development.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for 2-biphenylboronic acid as a therapeutic agent are limited. The compound has been studied in plant models such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Solanum lycopersicum, where treatment with boronic acids resulted in specific developmental alterations mimicking genetic mutations related to auxin signaling pathways. For antimicrobial applications, the compound is primarily evaluated in vitro. Specific in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data for this compound are not well-documented.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme inhibition assays, 2-biphenylboronic acid is evaluated against β-lactamases such as AmpC, KPC-2, and OXA-24. Enzyme activity is measured spectrophotometrically using a chromogenic substrate (e.g., nitrocefin). The compound (0.01-100 µM) is pre-incubated with the enzyme for 5-10 minutes at 25°C before substrate addition. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. The compound shows IC₅₀ values of 0.5 µM for AmpC, 0.8 µM for KPC-2, and 5.0 µM for OXA-24.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based experiments, 2-biphenylboronic acid can be evaluated for antimicrobial activity against bacterial cell lines. Bacteria are cultured in appropriate media and treated with the compound at various concentrations (typically 0.1-100 µg/mL) for 18-24 hours. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined using broth microdilution methods. The compound can also be tested in combination with β-lactam antibiotics to assess synergistic effects.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 2-biphenylboronic acid are not well-documented. For antimicrobial drug candidates derived from this building block, efficacy studies would typically be performed in mouse models of bacterial infection. Standard in vivo protocols involve administration to rodents via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection, with measurement of bacterial burden in target organs. Specific protocols for this compound are not available in the public literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 2-biphenylboronic acid are not extensively characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 198.03 g/mol, which is within the favorable range for oral bioavailability. The biphenyl structure and boronic acid group suggest moderate lipophilicity. As a boronic acid, it may be subject to metabolic oxidation. Empirical pharmacokinetic data (half-life, clearance, bioavailability) are not available in the public literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
2-Biphenylboronic acid is a research chemical and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. As a boronic acid derivative, it may cause skin and eye irritation. The compound should be stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or in solvent at -80°C for up to 1 year. Specific LD₅₀ values, acute toxicity classifications, and chronic toxicity data are not available in the public literature. Standard safety practices include the use of personal protective equipment.
Additional Infomation
2-Biphenylboronic acid (2-BPBA, CAS 4688-76-0) is primarily a research-grade chemical intermediate and biochemical reagent, not an FDA-approved pharmaceutical drug. Its primary applications are in organic synthesis as a reagent for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions and as a sulfonylation reagent for drug discovery. The compound has demonstrated antimicrobial activity by inhibiting β-lactamases and antioxidant properties. No clinical trials or approved indications exist for this compound.
