Product Information
Name:3-Phenylphthalide
Brand:Biosynth
Description:3-Phenylphthalide is a photolabile molecule that has been used as a drug for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It is an amine and is chiral, with two stereoisomers. 3-Phenylphthalide was synthesized in order to study the mechanism of action of drugs that are metabolized by chiral amines. 3-Phenylphthalide is a competitive inhibitor of 2-benzoylbenzoic acid chloride and chloride bonds cleavage, which are important steps in the synthesis of neurotransmitters. This drug also has been shown to inhibit the metabolism of benzoate to benzoylcholine, which may contribute to its effects on the nervous system.
