Carboxylic Acids

<p>Isatin-5-sulfonic acid sodium salt dihydrate is a potent inhibitor of caspases. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of caspase-3 in vitro, thereby inhibiting apoptosis. Isatin-5-sulfonic acid sodium salt dihydrate has also been shown to increase survival rates in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. Isatin-5-sulfonic acid sodium salt dihydrate may have neuroprotective effects by inhibiting the release of proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide, which are associated with neuronal death. This drug also inhibits monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and zymosterone B (ZVAD).</p>

<p>Kermesic acid is a hydroxybenzoic acid that is used as a food dye. It can be found in some red wines and it is also used to color the eggs of a particular breed of chicken. The most common use for kermesic acid is as an oxidizing agent in a chromatographic method, which separates molecules based on their size. The oxidation catalyst used can vary, but often trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is used. TFA reacts with the kermesic acid to form an octaketide, which has the chemical formula C8H6O3. This octaketide then reacts with another molecule of TFA to form two esters.</p>

<p>Domoic acid is a neurotoxin that has been shown to induce neuronal death in vitro and in vivo. Domoic acid inhibits the activity of ligand-gated ion channels, which increases the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. This toxin also induces mitochondrial membrane potential loss, causing apoptosis. Domoic acid binds to the NMDA receptor and blocks glutamate binding. It also inhibits ATP synthase by competing with ADP for binding sites on the enzyme's F1 portion. Domoic acid has low potency as a neurotoxin because it does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier or enter cells via passive diffusion.</p>

<p>It is used as an alternative to DMDHEU (formaldehyde releasing cross- linking agent). This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.

<p>Adipic dihydrazide is used as a formaldehyde scavenger and reacts with formaldehyde, thereby preventing the volatilizing of formaldehyde in the air. It is also employed as a paint additive and coating additive. It is also used as an intermediate. Further, it is used for cross-linking water-based emu</p>

<p>(4E,7Z)-4,7-Tridecadienyl acetate,a component of the sex pheromone was synthesized from 5-hexenyl acetate. CM of 5-decene with 5-hexenyl acetate is used to produce the insect pheromone. Used in olefin cross metathesis. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Ae</p>

The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Sci</p>

<p>1-Naphthylacetic acid is used as a plant growth regulator and for plant tissue culture. It is used for the vegetative propagation of plants from stem and leaf cutting, abscission promoter and substrate for auxin inducers of specific plant enzymes. Further, it stimulates root formation in cuttings of</p>

<p>Indicator for complexometric titration of Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba. It is used as an alkaline earth metal ion indicator. Suggested to be colorless at pH 11, but turns pink in the presence of alkaline earth metals. Also utilized in an auto analyzer to determine serum calcium. This Thermo Scientific Chemical</p>
