Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone is a membrane permeable inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) that has been shown to inhibit the enzyme's activity with an IC50 of 10 μM. It is used as a research tool in biological studies and has been shown to be active against MAO A, MAO B, and MAO C. 2-Bromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone has also been shown to inhibit the growth of carcinoma cells in vitro. This molecule is also a β-unsaturated ketone that binds to catalytic domains and forms covalent bonds with chloride ions. 2-Bromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone can be used as an industrial process catalyst for chemical reactions involving chloride.2-Bromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone synergistically inhibits the growth of cancer cells when combined with other compounds such as trifluoroacetic acid or dichloromet
