The Shocking Revelation of 3-(Bromomethyl)benzo[b]thiophene

New Advances in Chemical Research in 2021. Enzyme inhibitors cause a decrease in the reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction by binding to a specific portion of an enzyme and thus slowing or preventing a reaction from occurring. 1196-19-6, In an article, mentioned the application of 1196-19-6, Name is 3-(Bromomethyl)benzo[b]thiophene, molecular formula is C9H7BrS

Benzothiophene analogues of the allylamine antimycotic terbinafine (2) bearing the side chain at various positions and optionally substituted by halogen have been prepared and their antifungal activity studied.Derivatives bearing the side chain at positions 3, 4, or 7 are bioequivalents of 2.Compounds containing the allylamine side chain at position 7, with a further substituent at position 3, showed significantly enhanced activity against Candida albicans, an effect which appears to be specifically linked only to this particular substitution pattern. 3-Chloro-7-benzothienyl derivative 7m was found to be the most potent allylamine antimycotic identified so far.In general, substituted benzothiophenes can be used not only as potential equivalents of naphthalene in bioactive compoudns but also as a tool to selectively modify biological activities.
