Product Information

• Name: 4-Bromo-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Bromo-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide is an impurity in the pharmaceutical drug nilutamide. It is a ligand that binds to the androgen receptor and inhibits the binding of dihydrotestosterone, reducing its effect on prostate cells. 4-Bromo-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide has been shown to have pharmacokinetic properties similar to nilutamide, which is a drug used for treating prostate cancer. This impurity is also found in small quantities in other drugs including cyclobutanone, 2-aminoisobutyric acid, and chloral hydrate. The elucidation of these impurities can help regulate the quality of pharmaceutical drugs.
