Product Description
2-Chlorophenothiazine (CAS: 92-39-7), also known as 2-Chloro-10H-phenothiazine, is an organic heterocyclic compound belonging to the phenothiazine family. It appears as a white to light gray or green powder or crystal, odorless, and possesses a tricyclic structure containing sulfur and nitrogen heteroatoms. This compound is chemically stable under normal conditions and serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals (especially phenothiazine-based antipsychotics) and a research reagent in organic synthesis, pharmacology, and material science. It also acts as a NADPH oxidase-1 (NOX1) inhibitor, making it valuable in cancer research.
Uses
Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A critical raw material for the synthesis of phenothiazine-derived drugs, including chlorpromazine and prochlorperazine, which are widely used in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric conditions. It is also identified as an impurity reference material for related pharmaceutical products.
Laboratory & Research Applications: Used as a research reagent in organic synthesis, pharmacology, and molecular biology studies. It serves as a reference standard in gas chromatography (GC)-based quality control and is employed in experiments investigating NOX1 inhibition and its role in colon cancer cell invasion. It is also used in spectral analysis and chemical research.
