Bromantane (CAS 87913-26-6) is a research-grade adamantane derivative with a brominated aniline side chain. Molecular formula C16H20BrN, molecular weight 306.24 g/mol.
The compound is classified as an actoprotector in preclinical literature. In vitro research has examined its interactions with dopaminergic and serotonergic receptor systems, along with its influence on neurotrophic factor expression — including BDNF and nerve growth factor — in isolated brain tissue models.
Bromantane's lipophilic profile is well-documented. Studies note high affinity for lipid-rich tissue, which affects its distribution kinetics in cellular models. Its adamantane backbone is shared with several pharmacologically studied compounds, making it a useful reference tool in structure-activity research.
