Product Information

• Name: 3,4,5-Tribromobenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,4,5-Tribromobenzoic acid is a metabolite of 3-indoleacetic acid. It is excreted in the urine and has a phaseolus-like physiological activity. This compound has been found to reduce the number of internodes in plants and increase the number of subjacent nodes. In addition, it has been shown to inhibit abscission (the separation of plant parts) by inhibiting the release of auxin from the upper node. The structural properties of 3,4,5-tribromobenzoic acid are similar to those of benzoic acid and it can be found naturally in some plants. Diversity in this chemical has been found among different species: for example, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid is only present in citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons.
