Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromoethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromoethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is a synthetic, diagnostic, and therapeutic agent that is used as a radiotracer for imaging the uptake of tyrosinase in cancer cells. It binds to the benzodiazepine receptor and has a high affinity for this site. This compound also inhibits glutamate release from nerve endings and thus can be used to treat epilepsy. 2-Bromoethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate can inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the enzyme ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K) at an allosteric site. The binding of 2-bromoethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate causes a conformational change in the S6K molecule that results in inhibition of its catalytic activity.
