Description

4-(Chloromethyl)-1,2-difluorobenzene is a potent inhibitor of purine synthesis. It blocks the receptor for ATP (P2X7) and prevents the formation of cAMP, which is necessary for cellular proliferation. 4-(Chloromethyl)-1,2-difluorobenzene has been shown to be effective in treating pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia. This drug also inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. This drug has been used as an intermediate for drugs like gabapentin and pregabalin.
