Description
3-Bromocinnamic acid (also known as m-Bromocinnamic acid, 3-(3-Bromophenyl)-2-propenoic acid) is the primary active metabolite of the anticonvulsant drug cinromide (3-bromo-N-ethylcinnamamide). In vivo studies suggest that 3-Bromocinnamic acid may possess certain anticonvulsant properties and is primarily used in clinical testing and research related to cinromide.
