Usage

General Description

Bromoethylisothiourea, also known as betaine aldehyde, is a chemical compound that is mainly used as a reagent in chemical research and industry. It is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, which plays a critical role in alcohol metabolism in the body. This makes it a useful tool for studying the effects of alcohol consumption and for developing potential treatments for alcoholism. Additionally, bromoethylisothiourea has been studied for its potential use in cancer treatment due to its ability to induce cell death in cancer cells. However, its toxic and potentially harmful effects on the human body have limited its widespread use and require careful handling in laboratory settings.
