Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-5-methylaniline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-5-methylaniline is an insecticide that is used to control a number of pests, such as flies and mosquitoes. It has been shown to be effective against plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for causing malaria. 2-Bromo-5-methylaniline inhibits the growth of plasmodium by interfering with the synthesis of proteins vital for cell division. This drug can cause unintended effects on other insects and mammals, which may be due to its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity in humans and rats, leading to paralysis. 2-Bromo-5-methylaniline is also a product of palladium catalyzed reactions with isocryptolepine, a chemical compound that has been shown to have antiplasmodial properties.
