Product Information

• Name: 5-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-mercaptobenzimidazole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-mercaptobenzimidazole is an organic solvent that is used in the crystallization process of pantoprazole, a benzimidazole derivative. It is also used as a corrosion inhibitor and pump inhibitor in analytical chemistry. The purity of 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-mercaptobenzimidazole can be determined by chromatographic methods or by the use of analytical chemistry. Impurities may be genotoxic and include reactive impurities such as thiourea and 2-thiouracil. These impurities are removed during the synthetic process to produce 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-mercaptobenzimidazole. This drug substance has been found to inhibit DNA polymerase activity in vitro, but its effects on human cells have not been studied.
