<p>Stability Hygroscopic<br>Applications R-(+)-Carbidopa is an inhibitor of DOPA decarboxylase, which plays a significant role in the prevention of the conversion of L-DOPA (D533751) to dopamine (D533780). Studies has also indicated the inhibitory effects of towards L-DOPA in human liver prepns and as well as 5-hydroxytryptophan (H975700).<br>References Vogel, W.H. et al.: Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn.

<p>Stability Hygroscopic<br>Applications Vitamin (enzyme cofactor). Essential cofactor of fatty acid metabolism; required for the transport of fatty acids through the inner mitochondrial membrane. Synthesized primarily in the liver and kidney; highest concentrations found in heart and skeletal muscle. Dietary sources include red meat, dairy products, beans, avocado.<br>References Mitchell, M.E., et al.: Am. J. Clin. Nutr., 31, 293 (1978), Lango, R., et al.: Cardiovasc.

<p>Applications Methyl 6-aminohexanoate is used as a reagent to synthesize straight chain hydroxamates, compounds that act as inhibitors of Human Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) that have the potential to treat cancer. Methyl 6-aminohexanoate is also sometimes used as a spacer unit for peptide synthesis.<br>References Matthews, S., et al.: J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun., 17, 1809 (1995); Remiszewski, S., et al.: J. Med. Chem., 45, 753 (2002)<br></p>

<p>Applications N-Hydroxyphthalimide is used in the synthesis of a new class of antibacterials potent against macrolide resistant bacteria. Also used in the synthesis of pyrazolidines, isoxazolidines and tetrahydrooxazines.<br>References Agouridas, C. et al.: J. Med. Chem., 41, 4080 (1998); La Londe, R. et al.: Angew. Chem. Int.
