Safety of 5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acidOn March 22, 2007, Wacker, Dean A.; Varnes, Jeffrey G.; Malmstrom, Sarah E.; Cao, Xueying; Hung, Chen-Pin; Ung, Thao; Wu, Ginger; Zhang, Ge; Zuvich, Eva; Thomas, Michael A.; Keim, William J.; Cullen, Mary Jane; Rohrbach, Kenneth W.; Qu, Qinling; Narayanan, Rangaraj; Rossi, Karen; Janovitz, Evan; Lehman-McKeeman, Lois; Malley, Mary F.; Devenny, James; Pelleymounter, Mary Ann; Miller, Keith J.; Robl, Jeffrey A. published an article in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. The article was 《Discovery of (R)-9-Ethyl-1,3,4,10b-tetrahydro-7-trifluoromethylpyrazino[2,1-a]isoindol- 6(2H)-one, a Selective, Orally Active Agonist of the 5-HT2C Receptor》. The article mentions the following:
Robust pharmaceutical treatment of obesity has been limited by the undesirable side-effect profile of currently marketed therapies. The synthesis and optimization of a class of pyrazinoisoindolone-containing, selective 5-HT2C agonists as antiobesity agents, are described. Key to optimization of the pyrazinoisoindolone core was the identification of the appropriate substitution pattern and functional groups which led to the discovery of compound I, a 5-HT2C agonist with >300-fold functional selectivity over 5-HT2B and >70-fold functional selectivity over 5-HT2A. Oral dosing of I reduced food intake in an acute rat feeding model, which could be completely reversed by a selective 5-HT2C antagonist and caused a reduction in body weight gain in a 4-day rat model. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found 5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid(cas: 654-98-8Safety of 5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid)
5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid(cas: 654-98-8) belongs to organochlorine compounds. Alkanes and aryl alkanes may be chlorinated under free radical conditions, with UV light. However, the extent of chlorination is difficult to control. Aryl chlorides may be prepared by the Friedel-Crafts halogenation, using chlorine and a Lewis acid catalyst.Safety of 5-Chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid
