Product Information

• Name: 3-Bromothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Bromothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (BTPC) is a synthetic compound that has been found to have cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. It has also been shown to induce apoptosis in tumor cell lines and inhibit the growth of colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. BTPC was found to be more potent than the natural product halolactonization, which is a lactone with antitumor activity. The mechanism for BTPC's cytotoxicity involves its inhibition of the synthesis of RNA and DNA, which leads to cell death. This drug also inhibits angiogenesis and reduces blood supply to tumors.
