Product Information

• Name: 2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride is an inhibitor of the hepatitis virus. It is a nucleophilic compound that undergoes a phase transition from liquid to solid at around -8°C. This chemical has been shown to inhibit the infectious disease caused by hepatitis virus in cell culture and to be effective against other virus such as influenza A2 and herpes simplex type 1. 2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride has also been shown to have an inhibitory effect on fatty acid synthesis by acting as a competitive inhibitor of acyl coenzyme A synthetase. This inhibition causes an accumulation of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA in the cell, which leads to decreased production of lipids. 2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride also possesses irritancy properties, which may be due to its ability to activate sensory nerves in human skin cells.
