Product Information

• Name: 2,6-Dichloro-5-fluoronicotinic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,6-Dichloro-5-fluoronicotinic acid (2,6-DCFNA) is a chlorinating agent that is activated in acidic solutions. It is used to produce the disinfectant peracetic acid and in the industrial process of producing phenol. 2,6-DCFNA reacts with chloride to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which causes inflammation in cells by activating inflammatory cells such as neutrophils and macrophages. 2,6-DCFNA also inhibits tyrosine kinase activity, which may contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties. The toxic effects of 2,6-DCFNA have been studied on hematopoietic cells in vitro. Studies show that this compound can cause apoptosis or death of these cells and may be useful for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. 2,6-DCFNA has also been shown to inhibit tumor growth when
