Description

5-Bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (5BHB) is a phenolic compound that has been shown to have fungicidal properties. The uptake of 5BHB in the brain was studied using positron emission tomography and computerized tomography scans in monkeys. The affinity of 5BHB for the dopamine D2 receptor, and its ability to inhibit methylation reactions, were also investigated. The results show that 5BHB is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind with high affinity to the dopamine D2 receptor. These findings suggest that 5BHB may be used as a therapeutic agent for Parkinson's disease.
