Tetrabutylammonium phosphate is a biochemical compound used as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Tetrabutylammonium phosphate is primarily used as an anti-HIV-active nucleoside triphosphate prodrug. As a phosphate salt, it can serve as a source of phosphate groups for phosphorylation reactions. The tetrabutylammonium cation provides lipophilic character that can enhance cell permeability of phosphate-containing compounds. The compound's mechanism of action involves its use as a reagent for the preparation of nucleoside triphosphate prodrugs with anti-HIV activity.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Tetrabutylammonium phosphate is primarily used as a chemical reagent and synthetic intermediate. It is used as an anti-HIV-active nucleoside triphosphate prodrug. The compound is employed in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds that are subsequently tested in in vitro assays. It is soluble in organic solvents and is commonly used as a phase-transfer catalyst or as a phosphate source in phosphorylation reactions.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Tetrabutylammonium phosphate itself are limited. The compound is primarily used as a reagent for the preparation of nucleoside triphosphate prodrugs that are subsequently evaluated for anti-HIV activity in vivo. The compound's in vivo relevance is indirect, through the biological activities of the final pharmaceutical compounds derived from it.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme/receptor binding studies, Tetrabutylammonium phosphate is not typically evaluated as a test compound itself. Instead, it serves as a reagent for the synthesis of test compounds. The compound's properties include a molecular weight of 339.46 g/mol and a melting point of 151-154°C. The tetrabutylammonium cation provides lipophilic character that can be useful in phase-transfer catalysis.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based experiments, Tetrabutylammonium phosphate 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 in appropriate cell culture medium.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies using Tetrabutylammonium phosphate are conducted on the final drug compounds synthesized from it, not on the reagent itself. For nucleoside triphosphate prodrugs derived from this reagent, efficacy studies would typically be performed in animal models of HIV infection. Standard in vivo protocols involve administration to rodents via appropriate routes with pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic endpoints.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Tetrabutylammonium phosphate as a standalone compound are not characterized in the literature. The compound has a molecular weight of 339.46 g/mol. As a quaternary ammonium salt, it is expected to have limited oral bioavailability due to its charged nature. The compound is primarily used as a reagent rather than as a drug candidate. Empirical pharmacokinetic data are not available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Tetrabutylammonium phosphate is a research chemical and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. As a phosphate salt, it may pose risks of skin and eye irritation. The compound has a flash point of 43°F, indicating flammability. 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 and working in a fume hood.
Additional Infomation
Tetrabutylammonium phosphate (CAS 5574-97-0) is primarily a research-grade chemical reagent, not an FDA-approved pharmaceutical drug. Its primary application is as an anti-HIV-active nucleoside triphosphate prodrug. The compound is used as a phosphate source in phosphorylation reactions and as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis. It is available from chemical suppliers for laboratory research use only. No clinical trials or approved indications exist for this compound.
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.

*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.

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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
