CAS 6876-00-2: 3-Bromodiphenyl ether

3-Bromodiphenyl ether

Applications 1-Bromo-3-phenoxybenzene is part of a group of compounds called polybrominated diphenyl ethers. 1-Bromo-3-phenoxybenzene, along with other similar compounds, are widely used in industry as brominated flame retardants. Unfortunately, with their release into the environment, they pose significant hazards to the humans and wildlife that live in surrounding areas. 1-Bromo-3-phenoxybenzene is also known to induce toxic effects on the central nervous system, the liver, and kidneys in rats. 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 Marsh, G., et al.: Env. Sci. Tech., 38, 10 (2004); Papa, E., et al.: Chem. Res.

1-Bromo-3-phenoxybenzene is a copper salt that inhibits the growth of cells by binding to the copper ion. It has been shown to be effective against tissue samples and cancer cells, with a cytotoxic effect on breast cancer cells. This drug also inhibits cell growth by inhibiting protein synthesis through disruption of the ribosome. 1-Bromo-3-phenoxybenzene has been shown to have sirt1 inhibitory activity, which may contribute to its cytotoxicity.
