Product Information

• Name: 3-Bromo-4-phenylbutan-2-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Bromo-4-phenylbutan-2-one is an efficient method for the synthesis of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibitors. This compound has been shown to inhibit a number of sPLA2 enzymes in vitro and in vivo, including those from human neutrophils, rat peritoneal macrophages, and rat pancreatic acinar cells. 3-Bromo-4-phenylbutan-2-one is hydrolyzed by a number of reagents, including acids and bases. It can also be used as a starting material for the synthesis of potent sPLA2 inhibitors with nonpancreatic activity.
