METHYLGLYOXIME

Methylglyoxime is a dioxime that has an aliphatic hydrocarbon structure. It is used as a reagent in organic synthesis and other chemical processes. Methylglyoxime reacts with hydroxyl groups to form ester compounds, which can be hydrolyzed by alkali such as hydrochloric acid or sodium citrate to form the original methylglyoxime. The reaction mechanism of this compound is polymer film patterning with reactions proceeding in a pericyclic fashion. This compound inhibits the activity of several inhibition compounds, including autoimmunity diseases, which may be due to its ability to inhibit radiation-induced DNA damage.
