Description

1,2-Dibromobutane is an organic compound. It has a molecular weight of 104.19 and chemical formula of C4H8Br2. The dibromide ion is a bidentate ligand that binds metal ions by two oxygen atoms to form coordination complexes. 1,2-Dibromobutane has been shown to have antiviral activity against the hepatitis virus, including the NS3 protease enzyme. In addition, it inhibits the human serine protease trypsin in its activated state, which may be due to its ability to bind to the reactive site on the serine protease molecule. 1,2-Dibromobutane also possesses radiation energy and has been used as a radiopharmaceutical for diagnosing liver cancer.
