8-aminoisoquinoline-5-carboxylic acid; CAS No.: 1936191-65-9; 8-aminoisoquinoline-5-carboxylic acid. PROPERTIES: 8-aminoisoquinoline-5-carboxylic acid (CAS No.: 1936191-65-9) appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a melting point between 225-228 C. The compound features an amino group at position 8 and a carboxylic acid at position 5 of the isoquinoline ring system. Its carboxylic acid group demonstrates typical acidity with a pKa around 3.3, while the amino group shows moderate basicity (pKa ~5.2). Solubility characteristics reveal good dissolvability in polar solvents like methanol and DMF, with limited water solubility due to the hydrophobic aromatic system. The substance is hygroscopic and sensitive to light, necessitating storage in a tightly sealed amber container under nitrogen atmosphere at controlled temperature (15-25 C). Safety protocols recommend N95 respiratory protection, chemical-resistant gloves, and eye protection due to potential skin irritation and eye damage. The compound has a relatively high flash point (>100 C) but generates dust that may form explosive mixtures with air. APPLICATIONS: 8-aminoisoquinoline-5-carboxylic acid functions as a critical intermediate in synthesizing antibacterial agents targeting multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens as documented in antimicrobial research. Its isoquinoline scaffold enables the development of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors for connective tissue disorder treatments as reported in pharmaceutical chemistry literature. Additionally, 1936191-65-9 serves as a building block for fluorescent DNA intercalators used in genetic research, with several studies highlighting its role in creating sequence-specific DNA binding agents for molecular biology applications. The compound also contributes to the synthesis of agrochemical intermediates for developing herbicides with novel mechanisms of action, as described in agricultural chemistry literature.
