CAS 939-26-4: 2-(Bromomethyl)naphthalene

2-(Bromomethyl)naphthalene is a chemical that has been studied extensively for its ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It binds with high affinity to the mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibits the production of ATP, leading to cell death. 2-(Bromomethyl)naphthalene has also been shown to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can also induce tumor cell death. This compound has been used in a variety of biological samples, including urine samples, which have shown promising results. A potential target for this drug is an enzyme called hydrolysis, which may be found at higher concentrations in tumor cells. The proposed reaction mechanism is shown below: 2- (bromomethyl) naphthalene + H 2 O → bromide ion + 2- (hydroxymethyl) naphthalene The kinetic data and diphenyl sulfoxide are unknown at this time.
