Diazepam alkyne

Product key features

  • Bioorthogonal Reactivity: Contains a terminal alkyne group compatible with copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) for selective conjugation to azide-functionalized molecules.
  • Pharmacophore Retention: Maintains the benzodiazepine core structure and activity, enabling studies on GABAA receptor interactions & related pharmacology.
  • Versatile Probe Development: Ideal for synthesizing fluorescent, affinity, or photoactivatable probes for use in chemical biology & neuropharmacology.
  • Live-Cell Compatibility: Suitable for intracellular labeling and target engagement studies in live-cell or in vivo systems.
  • Research Applications: Facilitates structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies, target identification, and imaging of benzodiazepine derivatives in complex biological environments.

Product description

Diazepam alkyne is an alkyne-functionalized derivative of diazepam designed for bioorthogonal conjugation via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), commonly referred to as “click chemistry.” Incorporation of a terminal alkyne group enables site-specific and chemoselective coupling to azide-bearing molecules, including fluorophores, biotin derivatives, and solid-phase supports. The compound preserves the core benzodiazepine scaffold and pharmacophore of diazepam, facilitating its use in neuropharmacological research applications such as GABAA receptor binding assays, photoaffinity labeling, and probe development. Diazepam alkyne is particularly useful for generating functionalized analogs suitable for imaging, pull-down experiments, and structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies. Its compatibility with live-cell labeling strategies allows researchers to investigate the distribution, uptake, and target engagement of diazepam-like compounds in physiologically relevant systems. This reagent provides a powerful platform for elucidating benzodiazepine mechanisms of action at the molecular level.
