Description

Copper chloride is a chemical compound that is formed when copper and chlorine react together. It can be used to catalyze the reaction of coumarin derivatives with water vapor, forming a solution of copper(II) chloride. This solution has a higher water permeability than copper(I) chloride, which is due to its coordination geometry. Copper chloride has been shown to have biological properties that are similar to those of copper (e.g., redox potentials). It also binds to and inhibits drug metabolism enzymes such as cytochrome P450 reductase, thereby preventing the conversion of prodrugs into active metabolites.
