Product Information

• Name: 4-(Bromomethyl)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-(Bromomethyl)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester (BBBA) is a hypochlorous acid derivative with a structural formula of C6H5BrOCH2. It is used as a fluorophore and has been shown to have anticancer activity. 4-Bromomethylbenzeneboronic acid pinacol ester reacts with hydrophobic molecules in the cell membrane, leading to disruption of the membrane and ultimately cell death. This compound can be used as an active oxygen source in biological assays, such as functional assays, because it generates reactive oxygen species and can act as a fluorescence probe for detection of biological samples.
