CAS 3934-20-1: 2,4-Dichloropyrimidine

2,4-Dichloropyrimidine is a compound with an antiproliferation activity that has been shown to inhibit replication of viruses such as HIV. It inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in the replication of viral DNA, including the enzyme human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), which is essential for viral replication. The effects of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine on wild-type HIV are not clear because it does not have a significant effect on HIV-1 strains that have acquired resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline. However, this drug may be effective against other viruses that have not yet developed resistance. 2,4-Dichloropyrimidine also has antiinflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit the production of epidermal growth factor and nitrogenous compounds from inflammatory cells.

Applications 2,4-Dichloropyrimidine (cas# 3934-20-1) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.
