CAS 590-92-1: 3-Bromopropionic acid

3-Bromopropionic acid

3-Bromopropionic acid is a benzimidazole derivative that is used as a sample preparation agent in organic solvents. It can also be used to prepare 3-mercaptopropionic acid by quaternization with iodoacetic acid. 3-Bromopropionic acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of the cyclic peptide, which has shown efficacy against tumors. The high water permeability and low toxicity of 3-bromopropionic acid make it suitable for use in acidic ph tumor treatments. This compound also has been found to have antibacterial properties, although it is not active against methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus or Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 3-Bromopropionic acid has been shown to have nmr spectra that are different from those of other bromoacetic acids, making it useful for identifying metabolites and urine samples.

Applications 3-Bromopropionic Acid is used as a reagent in the synthesis of nitrogen containing diselenides which exhibit antioxidant activity. Also used as a reagent in the synthesis of indolin-2-one-based multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors as potential anticancer agents. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Nascimento, V., et al.: Eur. J. Med.
