6-Bromo-1-hydroxypyrene is a natural metabolite of the aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene. It has been used as an analytical standard for HPLC and GC analyses, and as a research and development (R&D) drug product in pharmacopoeia. 6-Bromo-1-hydroxypyrene has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activities in mouse skin. It also inhibits liver microsomal cytochrome P450 enzymes, suggesting that it may be useful in the treatment of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
