Produktinformation

• Name: (2E)-3-(2-Cyanophenyl)prop-2-enoic acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 2-Cyanophenylacetic acid (2CAPA) is a mitochondrial matrix stabilizer that acts as an antioxidant by binding to the hydroxyl and amino groups of fatty acids. It is used to protect against lipid peroxidation in muscle tissue and human erythrocytes. 2CAPA has been shown to have a protective effect on mitochondria, which are cells' powerhouses. It reversibly binds to the mitochondrial membrane and prevents its oxidation, thereby preventing cell death. This drug also has affinity for the cell membrane of resistant bacteria and inhibits fatty acid synthesis in the cytoplasmic membrane of these bacteria. The hydroxyl group on 2CAPA can react with nucleophilic groups on proteins, such as aldehyde dehydrogenase, leading to inhibition of enzymes involved in mitochondrial respiration.
