One prominent application of synthetic organobromine compounds is the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers as fire-retardants, and in fact fire-retardant manufacture is currently the major industrial use of the element bromine. 4897-84-1, formula is C5H9BrO2, Name is Methyl 4-bromobutanoate, Formula: C5H9BrO2
Han, Guiyan;Liu, Na;Li, Chenglan;Tu, Jie;Li, Zhuang;Sheng, Chunquan research published 《 Discovery of Novel Fungal Lanosterol 14α-Demethylase (CYP51)/Histone Deacetylase Dual Inhibitors to Treat Azole-Resistant Candidiasis》, the research content is summarized as follows. Invasive fungal infections (particularly candidiasis) are emerging as severe infectious diseases worldwide. Because of serious antifungal drug resistance, therapeutic efficacy of the current treatment for candidiasis is limited and associated with high mortality. However, it is highly challenging to develop novel strategies and effective therapeutic agents to combat drug resistance. Herein, the first generation of lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51)-histone deacetylase (HDAC) dual inhibitors was designed, which exhibited potent antifungal activity against azole-resistant clin. isolates. In particular, compounds 12h(II) and 15j(I) were highly active both in vitro and in vivo to treat azole-resistant candidiasis. Antifungal mechanism studies revealed that they acted by blocking ergosterol biosynthesis and HDAC catalytic activity in fungus, suppressing the function of efflux pump, yeast-to-hypha morphol. transition, and biofilm formation. Therefore, CYP51-HDAC dual inhibitors represent a promising strategy to develop novel antifungal agents against azole-resistant candidiasis.
4897-84-1, Methyl 4-bromobutyrate,also as known as 4-Bromobutyric acid methyl ester, is a useful research compound. Its molecular formula is C5H9BrO2 and its molecular weight is 181.03 g/mol. The purity is usually 95%.
4-Bromobutyric acid methyl ester is a synthetic compound that can be used to inhibit the activity of the G1 phase cyclin-dependent kinases. It has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis by alkylating the amino groups of proteins and fatty acids. 4-Bromobutyric acid methyl ester also inhibits the growth of cancer cell lines, such as renal carcinoma cells. The mechanism of action for this drug is not well understood, but it may be due to its ability to bind with monoclonal antibodies and enter kidney cells by passive diffusion., Formula: C5H9BrO2
