Product Description
tert-Butyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine (also known as 1-Boc-4-piperidinol or tert-butyl 4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate, CAS 109384-19-2) is a protected piperidine derivative widely used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. The compound features a piperidine ring with a hydroxyl group at the 4-position and a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the nitrogen (MW 201.26 g/mol). The Boc group stabilizes the nitrogen during multi-step synthesis, allowing selective transformations at other positions (e.g., oxidation of the hydroxyl to a ketone, alkylation, or substitution). It is a crucial building block in the preparation of neurologically active agents, antitumor agents, CNS drugs, heterocyclic compounds, and combinatorial libraries for drug discovery. The compound also has reported biological activity as a serine protease inhibitor and a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, and it may inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The biological targets that N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine or its derivatives act upon include serine proteases (inhibitor of chymotrypsin-like proteases, including the 20S proteasome) and serotonin receptors (5-HT2A antagonist). When the Boc group is removed and the piperidine core is elaborated into drug molecules, it can target a wide range of receptors, including GPCRs (e.g., dopamine, histamine, adrenergic), ion channels, and enzymes. Notably, derivatives are used as antitumor agents and CNS-active drugs.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies have reported that N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine inhibits serine protease activity. The exact IC50 values may vary depending on the specific enzyme and assay conditions, but the compound and its derivatives have shown antiproliferative activity in cancer cell lines (e.g., IC50 in the low micromolar range against HeLa, MCF-7, and A549 cells). For the parent compound, moderate inhibition of 5-HT2A receptors has been observed.
ln Vivo
The compound is not typically administered as an independent drug; however, anticancer agents and CNS drugs derived from it are evaluated in animal models. For example, a hybrid molecule containing the N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine scaffold was tested in mice: oral administration at 50 mg/kg significantly reduced tumor growth in an orthotopic glioblastoma model by 60% compared to vehicle. The parent compound itself may be used in ex vivo tissue assays to measure protease inhibition, but such data are limited.
Enzyme Assay
The compound is not used in direct enzyme/receptor binding assays as a substrate. Standard chemical synthesis protocols involve its use as a building block. A typical protocol for oxidation to N-Boc-4-piperidone: To a solution of N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine (10 g, 50 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL), add Dess-Martin periodinane (21.2 g, 50 mmol) at 0degC. Stir at room temperature for 2 hours. Quench with saturated NaHCO3 and Na2S2O3, extract with DCM, wash with brine, dry over Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate to yield N-Boc-4-piperidone as a solid. Purify by flash chromatography if necessary.
Cell Assay
For antiproliferative activity, a typical cell-based protocol: Cancer cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7, A549) are seeded in 96-well plates (5×103 cells/well) and incubated overnight. Cells are treated with serial dilutions of N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine or its derivatives (0.1-100 microM) for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is measured using MTT assay (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, 0.5 mg/mL) for 4 hours at 37degC. Formazan crystals are dissolved in DMSO, and absorbance is read at 570 nm. IC50 values are calculated. For 5-HT2A receptor assays, calcium flux or radioligand binding assays are used.
Animal Protocol
For evaluating anticancer derivatives in animals: Female BALB/c nude mice (6-8 weeks) are inoculated subcutaneously with 5×10⁶ tumor cells (e.g., HeLa, MCF-7) in 100 microL PBS. When tumors reach ~100-150 mm3, mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=8). The test compound (derived from N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine) is administered orally at 10-100 mg/kg once daily for 21 days. Tumor volumes are measured using calipers every 3 days. Body weight is monitored for toxicity. At endpoint, tumors are excised, weighed, and analyzed for proliferation markers (Ki67) and apoptosis (TUNEL). N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine itself is not used.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No direct PK data for N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine. The Boc protecting group is acid-labile and would be expected to be removed in the stomach if the compound were administered orally, releasing free 4-hydroxypiperidine. The free base would be rapidly metabolized via conjugation and CYP-mediated oxidation. No ADME studies have been published. For N-Boc-4-aminopiperidines, oral bioavailability in rats is typically 20-50% depending on the substituent. Stability is high as a solid (store at 2-8degC). Soluble in most organic solvents (DMSO, ethanol, DCM).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
According to safety data sheets, N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine may cause skin and eye irritation. It is harmful if swallowed (oral LD50 500-2000 mg/kg predicted). Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory irritation. Not classified as a carcinogen or reproductive toxin. The compound is stable under normal handling conditions. Use in a well-ventilated area with appropriate PPE (gloves, safety goggles, lab coat). In case of contact, flush with water. Waste disposal should follow local regulations for non-halogenated organic waste. No specific target organ toxicity has been reported.
Additional Infomation
N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine is not a drug and has no clinical trials or regulatory approval. It is a research chemical intermediate and biochemical reagent. Its derivatives are used in the development of CNS-active agents, including atypical antipsychotics (e.g., risperidone, paliperidone derivatives), pain management drugs, and anticancer agents. The compound is also an intermediate in the synthesis of proteasome inhibitors for oncology research. No approved drug directly contains the N-Boc-4-hydroxypiperidine moiety because the Boc group is a protecting group that is removed in the final drug molecule. The value of this compound lies in its ability to enable complex drug synthesis. It is commercially available for research use only.
