3-Chloro-5-fluorobenzonitrile

Ref. 3D-FC64122

Product Information

• Name: 3-Chloro-5-fluorobenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Chloro-5-fluorobenzonitrile is a synthetic molecule that inhibits the activity of RNA transcriptase by binding to the enzyme's biaryl region. This inhibition prevents the production of a new strand of RNA, inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division. 3-Chloro-5-fluorobenzonitrile has been shown to have antiviral activity against HIV, influenza, and herpes simplex viruses. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in vitro, such as diphtheria, tetanus, and cholera. 3-Chloro-5-fluorobenzonitrile may be used in clinical settings where there is a need for an inhibitor that does not bind to DNA or nucleosides such as ribozymes.
