Product Information

• Name: 3-Iodo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde
• Synonyms: 4-Hydro-3-iodobenzaldehyde4-Formyl-2-iodophenol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Iodo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3IB) is an amide that is found in plant tissue. It has been shown to have a number of biological activities, including hypoiodous acid production, chromatographic activity, and ether extract activity. 3IB can be synthesized from benzofuran derivatives or by treating the corresponding nitrobenzene with hydrochloric acid. Bioassays using thyroid enzyme have shown that 3IB may inhibit the synthesis of daunorubicin, a potent antitumour drug. Molecular modelling studies suggest that 3IB binds to ATP synthase by forming hydrogen bonds with the amino acids Gly and His in the active site.
