• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxy-3-nitroacetophenone is an inorganic compound that belongs to the group of metal salts. It is a synthetic, directional, and oriented molecule with four stereogenic centers. 2-Hydoxy-3-nitroacetophenone can be synthesized by the reaction of azide with chromene and cyanoformate. The product has been used in the synthesis of other compounds, such as phosphorus oxychloride, nitrohydroxyacetophenone, hydrogenation reaction, and inorganic bases. The product has also shown cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. This may be due to its ability to inhibit DNA synthesis or cell division by binding to the enzyme topoisomerase II. It can also bind to nucleic acids and react with oxygen radicals in a manner similar to O2-.
