N-(4-Bromophenyl)-N′-methylurea

Description:

N-(4-Bromophenyl)-N′-methylurea, with the CAS number 20680-07-3, is an organic compound characterized by its urea functional group, which is substituted with a 4-bromophenyl group and a methyl group. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is known for its role in various chemical applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and potentially in pharmaceutical research. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its reactivity and can influence its biological activity. The molecular structure features a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two nitrogen atoms, one of which is attached to a methyl group and the other to a phenyl ring that is further substituted with a bromine atom. This substitution pattern can affect the compound's solubility, stability, and interaction with biological systems. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks or environmental hazards.

1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-methylurea

CAS: 20680-07-3

1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-methylurea is a nitrosourea that has been shown to be carcinogenic in experiments. It is an alkylating agent that may also have genotoxic properties. 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-methylurea can react with DNA, forming DNA adducts. This chemical is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme nitrite reductase, which reduces nitrite to nitric oxide and water. Nitric oxide is important for blood vessel dilation and vasodilation, as well as the regulation of vasoconstriction. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to increased blood pressure by blocking these effects. 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-methylurea is commonly used in the laboratory to induce papillomas on the skin of animals or fish, as well as carcinogenic activity in vitro.
