Description

2,5-Dibromobenzoic acid is an organic compound with the formula HO2CCHBrO2. It is a white solid that dissolves in water and organic solvents. This compound has been shown to inhibit PTP1B (protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B), which is a protein kinase involved in insulin signal transduction. Inhibition of PTP1B by 2,5-dibromobenzoic acid has been shown to lead to decreased cancer cell growth and increased apoptosis without affecting normal cells. This compound also inhibits histone methylation, which may be useful for cancer diagnosis or treatment. In addition, 2,5-dibromobenzoic acid can be used in the synthesis of polymers due to its ability to react with methacrylates or acrylates under free radical polymerization conditions.
2,5-Dibromobenzoic acid is a mon
