2,7-Dibromocarbazole
Based on 1 Customer Validation
2,7-Dibromocarbazole (2,7-DBCZ) is an orally active AhR agonist and MAOB inhibitor that can cross the blood-brain barrier. 2,7-Dibromocarbazole induces CYP1A/CYP1B1, developmental toxicity and oxidative toxicity, Akt phosphorylation, apoptosis, mitochondrial depolarization, and calcium elevation. 2,7-Dibromocarbazole disrupts dopamine homeostasis, promotes α-synuclein aggregation and transcriptomic dysregulation, leading to hepatic lipid accumulation, liver lesions, brain injury, and angiogenesis/energy metabolism disorders, while activating ERα and inhibiting GRα. 2,7-Dibromocarbazole can be used in research on cardiotoxicity and Parkinson's disease.

In Vitro
2,7-Dibromocarbazole (10 μM; 48 h) co-modulates apoptosis, Akt phosphorylation, and Ca2+ elevation in H9c2 cells together with SC79/BAPTA-AM/Ppp2ca RNAi (10-100 μM; 1-3 h pre-exposure)[2].
2,7-Dibromocarbazole (100 nM-10 μM; 48 h) alters angiogenesis-related gene expression in HUVECs, most strongly upregulating Ang2 while decreasing VEGFB[7].
2,7-Dibromocarbazole (10 μM; 48 h post-transfection) inhibited HUVEC tube formation, whereas Ang2 silencing restored it[7].
2,7-Dibromocarbazole (10 μM-0.1 μM; 48 h) showed weak AhR agonist activity in a recombinant HepG2 luciferase reporter gene assay[1].
2,7-Dibromocarbazole (2,7-DBCZ) (10 nM-100 μM; 48 h) reduces H9c2 cell viability, with 100 μM being cytotoxic[2].
2,7-Dibromocarbazole (10 μM; 48 h) demethylates the Ang2 promoter in HUVECs, reducing region 2 by approximately 11%[7].
2,7-Dibromocarbazole (0.1-2 μM; 96 h) induced developmental toxicity and pericardial edema in wild-type zebrafish embryos, with a 96-h LC50 of 581.8 μg/L and an EC50 for pericardial edema of 201.5 μg/L[8].
2,7-Dibromocarbazole upregulates the expression of AhR1 and CYP1A in zebrafish embryos, consistent with AhR activation[8].
