Synonym(s): PBP
- CAS No.: 608-71-9
- Formula:C6HBr5O
- Molecular Weight:488.59
IUPAC Name: 2,3,4,5,6-pentabromophenol
InChIKey: SVHOVVJFOWGYJO-UHFFFAOYSA-N

Biological Activity: Pentabromophenol (PBP) is a brominated flame retardant (BFR) widely used in various consumer products to reduce the flammability of materials used in different utility items. Pentabromophenol can accelerate the degradation of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptors by promoting clathrin-mediated endocytosis, thereby inhibiting the TGF-β signaling pathway. Additionally, Pentabromophenol can also induce apoptosis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)[1][2].
