3-Bromo-7-azaindole

3-Bromo-7-azaindole is a synthetic compound that has been shown to have anticancer activity in vitro and significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells. The compound has shown to be effective against human cancer cells, and is being studied as a potential drug for the treatment of cancers. 3-Bromo-7-azaindole has been shown to kill cancer cells by inhibiting their ability to transfer protons across their membranes, which leads to DNA damage and cell death. This chemical also binds with nitrogen atoms in the cancer cell's protein cytochrome c oxidase, which inhibits mitochondrial function and inhibits tumor growth. 3-Bromo-7-azaindole is used in the synthesis of other compounds.

Applications A reagent used in the preparation of biologically active Azaindoles. References Minakata, S., et al.: J. Agric. Food Chem., 45, 2345 (1997),
