Controlled Product

CAS: 4760-35-4

2-(Chloromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole hydrochloride (CMMB) is a synthetic compound that inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for catalyzing the production of melanin. The tetradentate ligand in CMMB binds to the active site of tyrosinase and prevents it from catalyzing reactions. The redox potentials of CMMB make it possible to oxidize and reduce the compound, which allows for an easy synthesis. The dihedral angle between the amine and pyrimidine rings in CMMB provides a biomimetic structure that can be used to synthesize other aromatic compounds.
