Product Information
Name:Methyl-7-bromoheptanoate
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Methyl-7-bromoheptanoate is a synthetic compound that has been shown to be cytotoxic against cancer cells. It is also a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis and can be used as an antitumor agent. Methyl-7-bromoheptanoate binds to the substrate proteins that are involved in fatty acid synthesis and inhibits the production of fatty acids by alkylating them. This inhibition prevents the formation of new cell membranes, which results in cell death. The methyl group on this molecule can be cleaved with acid, forming conjugates that are more water soluble and easier to administer.
