3''-Bromo-4''-methylacetophenone is used as a starting material in the synthesis of mansonone E which is used to make mansonone E dervivatives. These derivatives are potent inhibitors of topoisomerase II (Topo II) and topoisomerase I (Topo I) and are also potent antitumor agents. 3''-Bromo-4''-methylacetophenone is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of BAF312, Siponimod which has been tested in the treatment of patients suffering from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
