| Targets |
4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid does not have a specific biological target as a drug; it is a synthetic building block. Boronic acids are known to reversibly interact with diols and serine residues in enzymes. In medicinal chemistry, boronic acids are used as protease inhibitors (e.g., bortezomib, a boronic acid‑based proteasome inhibitor for multiple myeloma). 4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid can be used to synthesize compounds that target specific enzymes, but the compound itself has no direct biological target. It is a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of more complex molecules with potential biological activity.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid is a chemical intermediate and has no direct biological activity in its parent form. It is used in the synthesis of bioactive molecules via Suzuki‑Miyaura cross‑coupling reactions. As a boronic acid, it can form reversible covalent bonds with diols and other hydroxyl‑containing molecules, which is the basis for its use in the synthesis of glycoprotein sensors and enzyme inhibitors. However, no specific IC50 values or detailed biological activity data are reported for the compound itself. It is not an inhibitor of specific targets in its unmodified form.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity data for 4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid are reported. As a chemical intermediate, it is not intended for in vivo administration. Any in vivo activity would be attributed to the final synthesized compounds derived from it, not to the boronic acid itself. The compound is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid is not evaluated in enzyme/receptor binding assays, as it is a chemical intermediate, not a drug. Its properties are characterized by chemical methods: NMR (¹H, ¹3C, ¹¹B), IR spectroscopy, melting point determination (243‑247degC), HPLC (purity typically 95-99%), and neutralization titration to determine boronic acid content. The compound is used as a reagent in Suzuki‑Miyaura cross‑coupling reactions to form carbon‑carbon bonds between aryl halides and boronic acids.
|
| Cell Assay |
No cellular experiments are performed on 4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid itself, as it is a chemical reagent. It may be used in cell‑based assays as part of the synthesis of test compounds, but the boronic acid itself is not tested for biological activity. If used as a positive control in certain assays (e.g., boronic acid‑based enzyme inhibition), it would be tested at concentrations of 1-1000 uM. However, no such data are reported.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal experiments are performed on 4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid, as it is a chemical intermediate and is not administered to animals for efficacy studies. It is used in the synthesis of drug candidates, which are then tested in animal models. The compound itself is not a drug and has no in vivo applications.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid (C8H9BO3, MW = 163.97, purity 95-99%, CAS 149104-90-5) is a white to yellow to orange crystalline powder. Melting point: 243‑247degC. For storage, the powder should be kept at room temperature in a sealed container, away from moisture and light. It is stable under normal storage conditions. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as DMSO, methanol, ethanol, and THF. It is also soluble in alkaline water due to the formation of the boronate anion. For organic synthesis, it is used as a reagent without purification. No PK parameters are reported.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data for 4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid are reported. As a research‑grade chemical, it is not intended for human or veterinary use. Boronic acids in general have low to moderate toxicity. The compound is an irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling chemicals should be followed, including the use of gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles. No LD50 or formal toxicology studies are available.

| Additional Infomation |
4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid (4‑APBA, 4′‑boronoacetophenone) is a boronic acid derivative widely used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki‑Miyaura cross‑coupling reactions, which are among the most important methods for forming carbon‑carbon bonds in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Boronic acids are versatile reagents that can also be used in the synthesis of sensors for carbohydrates (due to their ability to bind diols), enzyme inhibitors (e.g., proteasome inhibitors), and boronic acid‑based drugs (e.g., bortezomib). 4‑Acetylphenylboronic acid is for research use only and has no clinical applications.
