Product Information

• Name: Methylenebis(phosphonic dichloride)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methylenebis(phosphonic dichloride) is a synthetic compound that is used in the synthesis of phosphonates. It has been shown to be toxic to mammalian cells, with an LD50 of 1.1 mM/mL for K562 cells and 5.5 mM/mL for fetal bovine cells. Methylenebis(phosphonic dichloride) has also been shown to have efficient cytotoxic activity against covid-19 pandemic virus (HIV). This compound has not been found to be mutagenic or carcinogenic in studies on mice, rats, or rabbits. It is thought that the cytotoxic effects are due to its ability to inhibit translation by binding to ribosomes and preventing the formation of polypeptides during protein synthesis.Methylenebis(phosphonic dichloride) can also be used in synthetic chemistry as a precursor for other compounds such as phosphinic acid, phosphonic acid, and phosph
