In enzymology, a bromoxynil nitrilase (EC 3.5.5.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile and H2O, whereas its two products are 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxy-benzoate and NH3.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in nitriles. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile aminohydrolase. This enzyme participates in 1,4-dichlorobenzene degradation.

Bromoxynil is an organic compound with the formula HOBr2C6H2CN. It is classified as a nitrile herbicide, and as such sold under many trade names. It is a white solid. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis. It is moderately toxic to mammals.
Organobromine chemistry is the study of the synthesis and properties of organobromine compounds, also called organobromides, which are organic compounds that contain carbon bonded to bromine. The most pervasive is the naturally produced bromomethane.
Nitroxinil is an anthelmintic, a veterinary medicine against parasitic worms in sheep and cattle. The substance is active against the liver fluke the Fasciola hepatica and to a lesser extent against thread worms in the gastrointestinal tract. Brand names include Fluconix, Dovenix and Trodax. Nitroxynil is also used against strains of the red gum worm that have become resistant to benzimidazoles.
