2-Chloroquinazolin-4-amine (CQA) is an anti-oxidant that exhibits significant cytotoxicity against human cancer cells. It is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme chloride channel protein, which is involved in regulating the concentration of chloride ions in the blood. CQA has been shown to inhibit chemotaxis of white blood cells and platelets, and to have a protective effect on muscle tissue. The cytotoxic effects of CQA were shown to be due to its ability to induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death.

1-Bromo-4-cyclopentylbenzene (1-BCPB) is a chlorinated aromatic compound that can be synthesized by reacting 1-bromo-4-chlorobenzene and cyclopentylmagnesium bromide. The reaction sequence begins with the addition of hydrochloric acid to the first reactant, followed by magnesium chloride and ether. The mixture is heated to produce a liquid solution of ethylhexyloxy pyridine, which reacts with the second reactant in a sequence that leads to the desired product. 1-BCPB is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It has been shown to have moderate interaction with paraldehyde and pyridinium salts at room temperature, but it does not react with cycloalkyls or pyridinium salts at elevated temperatures.
