Product Information

• Name: 2,4-Difluoro-5-nitrobenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4-Difluoro-5-nitrobenzonitrile is a chemical that has been found to have affinity for the central nervous system. It inhibits the reuptake of monoamines such as dopamine and serotonin. This chemical has been shown to be endogenously produced in humans and animals. 2,4-Difluoro-5-nitrobenzonitrile also inhibits the uptake of amines by blocking the activity of their respective transporters. The compound is an isomeric mixture of two possible structures, which differ in their position on the benzene ring. The first form is characterized by a low affinity for neurotransmitter receptors and therefore has low inhibitory properties on monoamine uptake. The second form has greater affinity for neurotransmitter receptors and therefore has greater inhibitory properties on monoamine uptake, although at higher concentrations it may lead to adverse effects on muscle tissue.
