Product Description
2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine (CAS 3430-17-9) is a halogenated pyridine analogue with the molecular formula C₆H₆BrN and a molecular weight of 172.02 g/mol. It appears as a colorless to light yellow to light orange clear liquid with a purity of ≥97%. This compound is used as a reaction reagent and as a basic structural unit in organic synthesis for the preparation of other heterocyclic compounds. The bromine atom at the 2-position provides a handle for cross-coupling reactions (Suzuki, Heck, Negishi) to introduce various substituents. As a biochemical reagent, it can be used as a biological material or organic compound for life science research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine does not have a defined primary drug target as it is a chemical reagent and synthetic building block rather than a therapeutic agent. Pyridine derivatives are important pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry, found in numerous drugs with diverse activities including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and CNS-active properties. The bromine atom provides a handle for cross-coupling reactions to introduce various substituents. The methyl group at the 3-position provides steric and electronic modulation. Compounds synthesized using this reagent as a building block may target various enzymes or receptors.
ln Vitro
As a synthetic reagent, 2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine is not typically evaluated for direct in vitro biological activity against specific molecular targets. Pyridine derivatives in general have been extensively studied for their biological activities, but the parent compound is used primarily as a chemical tool rather than a bioactive molecule. Its activity in biological assays would depend on the specific context and concentration, and any observed effects are generally considered incidental rather than the intended purpose of the compound.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine itself is not available, as the compound is not intended for therapeutic use. Drug candidates synthesized using 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine as a building block may be evaluated in animal models for various indications, but the biological activity is attributed to the final drug molecule rather than the bromopyridine reagent. The compound's primary applications remain in chemical synthesis as a versatile building block for pyridine-based drug discovery.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free biochemical assays involving 2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine typically focus on its use as a synthetic reagent in cross-coupling reactions. A standard protocol for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling involves mixing 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine with a boronic acid or boronic ester, a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄ or PdCl₂(dppf)), and a base (e.g., K₂CO₃ or Na₂CO₃) in an appropriate solvent such as THF, dioxane, or DMF/water mixture. The reaction is typically heated to 80-100°C for several hours under inert atmosphere. Alternatively, the compound can be used in Buchwald-Hartwig amination or other cross-coupling reactions. Reactions are monitored by TLC or GC-MS and products are characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are not typically performed with 2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine as the compound is a chemical reagent rather than a drug candidate. For pyridine derivatives synthesized from this reagent, standard cell-based protocols would apply depending on the target indication. For example, cancer cell lines may be treated with the synthesized compound at various concentrations for 24-72 hours, and cell viability assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. The bromopyridine reagent itself may be used as a control.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies are not typically conducted with 2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine itself. For drug candidates synthesized using this reagent, standard in vivo efficacy studies involve rodent models of the target disease. A typical protocol includes oral or intravenous administration of the test compound at various doses, with monitoring of disease progression through appropriate endpoints. The pyridine core is a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry, and many pyridine-containing drugs have been developed for various therapeutic areas.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a chemical reagent rather than a drug, comprehensive pharmacokinetic data for 2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine is not available. The compound's molecular weight is 172.02 g/mol. The compound is a liquid at room temperature with a density of 1.544 g/mL. For drug molecules synthesized from this reagent, ADME properties depend on the final structure. The pyridine core generally confers favorable physicochemical properties for drug development, including moderate polarity and hydrogen bonding capability.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data specific to 2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine is limited. As with all halogenated heterocycles and chemical reagents, standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound. The compound may cause irritation upon skin or eye contact, and inhalation of vapors should be avoided. For drug candidates synthesized using this reagent, comprehensive toxicological evaluation is required as part of the drug development process.
Additional Infomation
2-Bromo-3-methylpyridine is a research chemical and synthetic reagent rather than an approved pharmaceutical agent. No clinical trials or regulatory approvals exist for this compound itself. It is commercially available from various chemical suppliers for research purposes only. The compound's primary value lies in its utility as a versatile building block in organic synthesis for the preparation of pyridine derivatives and other heterocyclic compounds. The bromine atom at the 2-position enables diverse functionalization through cross-coupling reactions. The pyridine core is a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry, and 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine is a valuable intermediate for drug discovery.
