2-Bromo-4-chloropyridine is a 4-chloropyridine derivative with the chemical structure of a heterocyclic amine. It has been synthesised as an analog of 2,4,6-trimethylaniline to explore its pharmacological effect. 2-Bromo-4-chloropyridine has been shown to have a bladder carcinogenic effect in animals. The compound was evaluated for its potential to cause bladder cancer in humans by determining the concentration of the compound in human urine following oral administration and by measuring the frequency of bladder tumors in rats. It has also been found that 2-bromo-4-chloropyridine inhibits serotonin receptors (5HT2C) and dopamine receptors (D2).
