Product Information

• Name: 2-Amino-3-bromobenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth

Description

2-Amino-3-bromobenzoic acid is a potent inhibitor of the dehydrogenase enzyme. It binds to the active site of the enzyme and prevents it from catalyzing chemical reactions with other molecules. 2-Amino-3-bromobenzoic acid has been shown to bind to dehydrogenases of both the NADH and NADPH type, with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. The crystal structure of 2-amino-3-bromobenzoic acid bound to one conformer of the enzyme has been determined.
2-Amino-3-bromobenzoic acid is not biologically active on its own; it must be converted into an active form by metabolic enzymes before it can inhibit the dehydrogenase enzyme.
