4-(Bromomethyl)phenylacetic acid

Description:

4-(Bromomethyl)phenylacetic acid, with the CAS number 13737-36-5, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both a bromomethyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound features a phenyl ring substituted with a bromomethyl group at the para position relative to the acetic acid moiety. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the phenyl ring. The presence of the bromine atom introduces notable reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the carboxylic acid group contributes to its acidity and potential for forming salts or esters. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous. Overall, 4-(Bromomethyl)phenylacetic acid is a valuable compound in chemical research and synthesis.

4-(Bromomethyl)phenylacetic acid

CAS: 13737-36-5

4-(Bromomethyl)phenylacetic acid is a potent cancer drug that blocks the activity of hydrogen-bonding interactions. It inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells, DU145 cells, and other cell lines. The drug has been shown to inhibit the activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in primary blood cells from healthy donors. TLR4 is a protein found on the surface of immune cells that senses molecules from bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. This protein plays an important role in triggering anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory responses to infection. The drug also inhibits platelet aggregation and lipoprotein lipase activity in vitro.
