Product Information

• Name: 3,5-Difluorobenzyl bromide
• Synonyms: α-Bromo-3,5-difluorotoluene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,5-Difluorobenzyl bromide (3,5-DFB) is a molecule that is used to inhibit the activity of protein kinases. It binds to the ATP binding site of these enzymes and prevents ATP from binding. This leads to a reduced ability of the protein kinase to phosphorylate other proteins. 3,5-Difluorobenzyl bromide has been shown to inhibit influenza virus replication in vitro and in vivo. X-ray crystal structures have shown that 3,5-DFB binds to an active site on the viral RNA polymerase complex, where it interacts with viral nucleotides and blocks their incorporation into viral RNA chains. 3,5-DFB also inhibits virus strain A/WSN/33 (H1N1) in cell culture at concentrations of 5 μM or less.
