Biochem/physiol Actions

Chlorobutanol or 1,1,1-Trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol is a opthalmic preservative and sedative hypnotic that possess antibacterial and antifungal properties. It also decreases the conduction velocity and induces conduction failure and automaticity within isolated ventricular muscle strips as well as impacts myocardial cells by acting on cell membrane and reduces isometric tension produced by heart.

General Description

1,1,1-Trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol hemihydrate (chlorobutanol) converts benzisoxazole to α-aryloxyisobutyric acid. 1,1,1-Trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol hemihydrate (chlorobutanol) forms eutectic with dimethyl sulfone, which is the most suitable media for freeze-drying due to its high solubilizing ability and a good rate of solvent removal.
