Product Information

• Name: 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzonitrile is a potent inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and has been shown to inhibit the activity of this enzyme in cell lung cancer and muscle. 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzonitrile also inhibits the activity of other enzymes, such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and phosphatidylcholine esterase (PCE), that are found in the membranes of cells. This inhibition leads to increased levels of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft, which may lead to an increase in muscular contractions. 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzonitrile is also a product yield enhancer for chromene synthesis.
