5-Bromoisatin is a 5-haloisatin. One of the methods reported for its synthesis is by reacting N-halosaccharins with isatin in the presence of SiO2. Its inotropic activity has been studied on rhythmically stimulated papillary muscles of guinea pigs. It is reported to exhibit analgesic and sedative properties at a dose of 0.2g/kg in mice.
