• Synonyms: 5-Bromosalicylaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (5BHB) is an organic compound that has been shown to have a coordination geometry of group p2. This compound binds to DNA and RNA, inhibiting the transcription process. 5BHB also has the ability to form a copper complex with malonic acid. This redox potential is reduced by one electron when copper is added in order to form the copper complex, which allows for the reactivity of 5BHB to be increased. 5BHB binds to nucleic acids through hydrogen bonding interactions with nitrogen atoms and lone pairs on oxygen atoms. The reaction mechanism for 5BHB involves intramolecular hydrogen transfer from one molecule of 5BHB to another, forming an intermediate that then reacts with nucleic acid.
