CAS 513-02-0: Triisopropyl phosphate

Triisoproyl phosphate is a phosphatase inhibitor that is used in the preparation of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) or polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sample tubes. Triisopropyl phosphate inhibits phosphatases, which are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds. This prevents the release of non-bound phosphate groups and results in a more stable polymer film. Triisopropyl phosphate has been shown to inhibit 5-HT2 receptors and trimethyl tryptamine in vitro, with an IC50 value of 3 μM. It also inhibits matrix metalloproteinases, which are enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix and promote inflammation. The inhibition of these enzymes may be due to its ability to bind to and stabilize the active site by nucleophilic attack on the hydroxyl group. Triisopropyl phosphate has been shown
