戊酸钠是一种有机金属盐化合物。据文献报道,它可用于制备丁苯酞和戊柔比星。丁苯酞,即[(±)-3-正丁基苯酞],是我国拥有自主知识产权的一类新药。该物质与其从芹菜籽油中提取的左旋芹菜甲素[(-)-(S)-3-正丁基苯酞]具有相同的结构,并且是其人工合成的消旋体,展现出广谱抗惊厥活性。
用途戊酸钠是一种羧酸盐类有机物,可用作医药中间体。
6-Butyl-5,6-dihydrobenzimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline, 3,9- and 3,10-dimethoxy, and 3,9- and 3,10-dihydroxy analogues, and their 12-methyl quaternary salts were prepared by a multistep route. Cytotoxicities against 55 human cancer cell lines were measured in the National Cancer Institute screen. The quaternary salts of the dimethoxy compounds (15b/c) were clearly the most active overall, with a mean graph midpoint (MGM) value of 2 m.
