Product Description
4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine (CAS 7461-50-9) is a pyrimidine derivative with molecular formula C₄H₄ClN₃ and molecular weight 129.55 g/mol. It is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research. The compound features an amino group at the 4-position and a chlorine atom at the 2-position of the pyrimidine ring, making it a versatile building block for the synthesis of various pharmaceutical agents. It has been studied for its inhibitory activity against cholinesterase enzymes and glutathione S-transferase (GST), and has shown cytotoxicity against cancer cells and virus-infected cells. The compound is available as a high-purity biochemical reagent for life science research applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine is a competitive inhibitor for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with a Ki value of 0.18 μM and for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) with a Ki value of 1.324 μM. It also exhibits high inhibitory activity against glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme with an IC₅₀ of 0.037 μM and a Ki of 0.047 μM in vitro. The compound fits in the binding pocket of the 4BDS protein. Through cholinesterase inhibition, it leads to acetylcholine accumulation in the synapse, increasing neurotransmitter concentration and the frequency of cell apoptosis.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine demonstrates potent enzyme inhibitory activity. It acts as a competitive inhibitor for AChE (Ki = 0.18 μM) and BChE (Ki = 1.324 μM), and shows high inhibitory activity against GST with IC₅₀ = 0.037 μM and Ki = 0.047 μM. Molecular docking studies have been performed to understand the binding interactions of this compound on the active site of target enzymes. It has also been shown to be cytotoxic against cancer cells and virus-infected cells. The compound is used as a biochemical reagent in various in vitro assay systems for enzyme inhibition studies and as a sulfonylation reagent in organic synthesis and drug discovery.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for 4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine as a standalone compound are limited. The compound is primarily a biochemical reagent and synthetic intermediate rather than a directly administered therapeutic agent. Optical properties and pharmacokinetic properties of this substance have been studied using optical spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular modeling techniques. Its in vivo relevance is primarily through the pharmaceutical compounds synthesized from it as a building block. The compound's cholinesterase inhibitory activity suggests potential for in vivo studies in models of neurological conditions, but specific animal study data are not documented in the publicly available literature.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme binding assays, 4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine is evaluated using purified AChE, BChE, or GST enzymes. Enzyme activity is measured spectrophotometrically using appropriate substrates. For AChE inhibition, the Ellman's method is employed: acetylthiocholine iodide is used as substrate, and 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) is used as the chromogenic agent. Reaction progress is monitored at 412 nm. The compound (0.001-100 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, and Ki values are determined from Lineweaver-Burk plots. The compound shows Ki = 0.18 μM for AChE and Ki = 1.324 μM for BChE. For GST inhibition, 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and glutathione are used as substrates.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based assays, 4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine can be evaluated for cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines such as HeLa, MCF-7, or HepG2. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with the compound at concentrations ranging from 0.1-100 μM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays: MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) is added to each well, incubated for 4 hours, formazan crystals are dissolved in DMSO, and absorbance is measured at 570 nm. The compound has shown cytotoxic effects against cancer cells. It can also be evaluated in virus-infected cell models to assess antiviral activity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine are not well-documented. As a biochemical reagent and synthetic intermediate, the compound is not typically administered directly to animals for pharmacological evaluation. However, for compounds synthesized from this pyrimidine building block, standard in vivo protocols would involve administration to rodents (mice or rats) via oral gavage, intravenous injection, or intraperitoneal injection at doses determined from in vitro potency data. Pharmacokinetic sampling would be conducted at multiple time points post-administration for plasma concentration analysis. Specific protocols for this compound are not available in the public literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for 4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine are limited. The compound has a calculated logP of 1.29, indicating moderate lipophilicity suitable for passive membrane permeability. The molecular weight of 129.55 g/mol is well within the favorable range for oral absorption. The compound has a polar surface area (PSA) of 51.8 Ų, suggesting moderate intestinal absorption potential. Optical spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy have been used to study the compound's optical and pharmacokinetic properties. However, empirical pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, clearance, volume of distribution, and oral bioavailability are not documented for this compound in the publicly available literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 4-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine are not extensively documented. The compound is classified as a research chemical and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. As a chlorinated pyrimidine derivative, it may pose risks of skin and eye irritation. Specific LD₅₀ values, acute toxicity classifications, and chronic toxicity data are not available in the public literature. The compound is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. Standard safety practices include the use of personal protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles, lab coat), working in a fume hood, and avoiding inhalation and skin contact.
