CAS 13535-01-8: 3-Amino-5-bromopyridine

3-Amino-5-bromopyridine

3-Amino-5-bromopyridine (3ABP) is a linker for the synthesis of cisplatin. It has been shown to have strong bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. 3ABP is cytotoxic to both renal proximal tubule cells and ring-opening cells, which are found in the kidney. It is also an inhibitor of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which are proteins that control nerve cell communication. 3ABP's pharmacokinetic properties make it suitable as a linker for cisplatin, as it has good oral bioavailability, low systemic toxicity, and high tissue selectivity.
