Product Information

• Name: 3-(4-Bromobenzoyl)-acrylic acid

Description

3-(4-Bromobenzoyl)-acrylic acid is a chiral secondary amine that was synthesised in the laboratory. It is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, which is an enzyme involved in purine metabolism. The compound inhibits the enzyme by binding to it and preventing it from breaking down xanthine into uric acid. This has been shown to inhibit xanthine oxidase activity in vitro, but not in vivo. 3-(4-Bromobenzoyl)-acrylic acid has been shown to be more potent than some other inhibitors, such as thiourea and erythromycin. However, it has only been studied at low concentrations so far and its effects on human cells are unknown.
