1-Benzylimidazole Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

BROWNISH CRYSTALS

Uses

1-Benzylimidazole acts as an inducer of various cytochrome P-450 isozymes and inhibitor of thromboxane A2 synthase. 1-Benzylimidazole has been used to prepare cyclodextrin-ionic liquid polymer (βCD-BIMOTs-TDI)

Uses

Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate may be involved in the estimation of iodide in pharmaceutical samples, using spectrophotometric method.

Synthesis Reference(s)

General Description

1-Benzylimidazole has been used to prepare cyclodextrin-ionic liquid polymer (βCD-BIMOTs-TDI).

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-Benzylimidazole is a CYP inhibitor that inhibits the biotransformation of MeO-BDEs (methoxylated-brominated diphenyl ethers) to OH-BDEs (hydroxylated) in fishes.
