1-Bromopinacolone is an active site-directed covalent inhibitor for acetylcholinesterase

1-Bromo-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one

1-Bromopinacolone is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring acetylcholine. It is used as a pharmaceutical preparation to treat psychotic disorders and inflammatory diseases, such as asthma. 1-Bromopinacolone has irreversible inhibition of the cholinergic receptor activity, which blocks the neurotransmitter signal from binding to its receptors. This drug also has an effect on the β-unsaturated ketones (PUFA), which are involved in syncytial virus infection. The molecular modelling of 1-bromopinacolone shows that it forms intramolecular hydrogen bonds with neighbouring nitrogen atoms and chlorine atoms, which stabilises its structure and leads to its high stability and low toxicity.

1-Bromopinacolone is used as an iIntermediate for triazole compounds ( a five-membered ring structure compound contains three nitrogens and two carbons in the ring) which have biological activities such as antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antituberculous.
