Product Information

• Name: 4-Amino-3-nitrobenzonitrile
• Synonyms: 2-Nitro-4-cyanoaniline3-Nitro-4-aminobenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Amino-3-nitrobenzonitrile is an organic compound that is used as a precursor in the synthesis of drugs to treat infectious diseases. 4-Amino-3-nitrobenzonitrile has been shown to have potent activity against Leishmania species, including L. major and L. braziliensis. It binds to sulfoxides by a nitro group and forms a covalent bond with the sulfoxide. This results in the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the nitro group and the sulfoxide, which prevents it from forming hydrogen bonds with other molecules. Gel permeation chromatography can be used for analytical determination of this drug. 4-Amino-3-nitrobenzonitrile has also been studied using chemosensors and in vivo studies, showing that it can be used to inhibit protozoa such as Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolyt
