Description

Benzyl bromoacetate is a bicyclic heterocycle that is metabolized by the enzyme benzyl alcohol dehydrogenase. The resulting metabolites are then converted to methyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol. It has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cells and basic fibroblasts, which may be due to its ability to inhibit enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis. Benzyl bromoacetate also has therapeutic effects on autoimmune diseases such as bowel disease, which may be due to its ability to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system.
