2,2,2-三甲基硫代乙酰胺

2,2-Dimethylthiopropionamide is used as a reagent to synthesize Dabrafenib, an inhibitor of BRAF kinase that is used to treat BRAF V600-mutation positive carcinoma. BRAF is a gene that mediates cell growth and is activated by mutations caused by cancer. 2,2-Dimethylthiopropionamide is also used as a reagent to prepare sulfonyl-substituted 4,5-diarylthiazoles, compounds that act as cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors (anti-inflammatory agents).
