Phthalazine Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

SLIGHTLY BROWN TO BEIGE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Uses

Phthalazine derivatives including copper and platinum complexes were induce the apoptosis in breast cancer cell lines and renal hyperemia.

Uses

Phthalazine is a heterocyclic organic compound isomeric with quinoxaline, cinnoline and quinazoline. Aminophthalazine compounds serve as effective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors.

Definition

ChEBI: An azaarene that is the 2,3-diaza analogue of naphthalene. The parent of the class of phthalazines.

Purification Methods

Phthalazine crystallises from diethyl ether or *benzene, and sublimes under a vacuum. The hydrochloride forms needles from EtOH with m 235-236o(dec) and the picrate has m 208-210o. [Armarego J Appl Chem 11 70 1961, Beilstein 23 H 174, 23 III/IV 1233.]
