Description

3,9-Dibromobenzanthrone is a dibrominated derivative of anthraquinone. It is synthesized by the dropwise bromination of 1-aminoanthraquinone with bromine and sulfuric acid as the catalyst. The reaction proceeds in two steps: first, the amino group is replaced with a bromine atom to form 3,9-dibromo-1-aminoanthraquinone; second, the amino group is replaced with a nitro group to form 3,9-dibromobenzanthrone. This reaction product has been shown to be effective in inhibiting nitrite toxicity in cells by reducing nitrite concentration and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). This compound also has antioxidant properties that may be due to its ability to scavenge ROS.
