CAS 14348-40-4: 3-Hydroxy-2,4,6-tribromobenzoic acid

3-Hydroxy-2,4,6-tribromobenzoic acid

TBHBA blocks COX-2, LOX, 5-LOX, 5-alpha reductase, tyrosinase, and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties.

3-Hydroxy-2,4,6-tribromobenzoic acid (3HBBA) is a monocarboxylic acid that inhibits the growth of cancer cells. 3HBBA decreases glucose production by inhibiting peroxidase-like activity in colonic microflora and effective dose. It also has an inhibitory effect on the synthesis of glucose in human serum. 3HBBA was shown to have no effect on plasma glucose levels in healthy subjects at doses up to 1 g/kg body weight. The main metabolic pathways for 3HBBA are beta oxidation and reduction, which can be carried out by both humans and bacteria. 3HBBA is converted into l-tartaric acid (an inhibitor of glycolysis), glycol ethers, and dinucleotide phosphate (a metabolite involved in DNA synthesis).
