Type

Quaternary ammonium salt

Molecular Weight

266.43 g/mol

Appearance

Not specified in the material, but typically a solid or crystalline substance

Solubility

Not specified in the material, but generally soluble in polar solvents like water or methanol

Research Applications

Positive allosteric modulator of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5)

Therapeutic Potential

Treatment of neurological disorders such as Fragile X syndrome and addiction

Molecular Mechanisms

Investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological conditions and developing new pharmacological interventions

Chemical Structure

Contains a piperidine ring, a morpholine ring, and a prop-2-en-1-yl group attached to the nitrogen atom of the piperidine ring

Charge

The compound has a net positive charge due to the quaternary ammonium salt structure

Stability

Generally stable under normal laboratory conditions, but sensitive to moisture and heat

Safety Precautions

Handle with care, as it may be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture, and in a sealed container to maintain stability

Purity

Typically synthesized with high purity for research purposes, but the exact purity level is not specified in the material

Synthesis

The synthesis of MPEP involves the formation of the piperidine ring, followed by the introduction of the morpholine and prop-2-en-1-yl groups

Analytical Techniques

Characterization of MPEP can be done using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis

Regulatory Status

Not specified in the material, but may be subject to regulatory controls depending on the intended use and jurisdiction
