Product Information

• Name: 4-Fluoro-α-methylbenzylamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Fluoro-a-methylbenzylamine is a chiral, protonated, and enthalpic compound. It can be synthesized by reacting anilines with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde in the presence of a base such as sodium ethoxide. The flavonoids from the plant Hedera helix have been shown to inhibit this enzyme. 4-Fluoro-a-methylbenzylamine has been found to be a potent inhibitor of imidazole amidohydrolase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of histamine and other biologically active amines. This inhibition prevents the conversion of histamine to imidazole and therefore may help prevent allergic reactions such as asthma.
