Ref. 3D-FAA89629

Product Information

• Name: 3-Iododibenzofuran
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Iododibenzofuran is a fluorescent compound that has been used as a probe for the study of neutral endopeptidase activity. The compound is characterized by a high degree of thermal stability and an inhibitory potency at pH 7.0 that is approximately 3 orders of magnitude greater than that of the active site inhibitor, anthracene. 3-Iododibenzofuran can be synthesized using chemoenzymatic methods, with efficiencies and profiles that are similar to those obtained in the conventional method. This probe can also be used to investigate the functional role of proteins in living cells or tissues.3-Iodobenzofuran has been shown to have pressor effects in rats and can cause tetrazole (a type of explosive) to detonate when heated, which makes it unsuitable for use in devices such as explosives or pyrotechnics.
