2-Bromophenylacetic acid

Description:

2-Bromophenylacetic acid is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both a bromine atom and a carboxylic acid functional group. It features a bromine atom attached to the second position of a phenyl ring, which is further connected to an acetic acid moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic component. The presence of the bromine substituent can influence its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 2-Bromophenylacetic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions, owing to its functional groups. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

2-Bromophenylacetic acid

CAS: 18698-97-0

2-Bromophenylacetic acid is a potent inhibitor of the human enzyme COX-2. It has been shown to have anticancer activity, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cellular proliferation and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. This compound has been tested in a variety of experimental models, including chromatographic assays and striatal membrane preparations, with promising results. 2-Bromophenylacetic acid also has potent inhibitory activity on the human enzyme COX-2 and can be used as a dietary supplement for anticancer therapy.
COX-2 inhibitors are usually administered as ethyl esters or solutes in order to prevent degradation by esterases or glucuronidases. The 2-bromophenyl group is electron donating and this may increase the reactivity of the carbon adjacent to it and lead to an acylation reaction with nucleophilic groups such as thiols or amines.
