Produktinformation

• Name: 2-Amino-5-fluorophenol
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 2-Amino-5-fluorophenol (2AP) is a natural product that has been found to be an effective inhibitor of the enzyme fatty acid synthase. 2AP has been shown to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Toxoplasma gondii in a model system. This compound is used as a starting material for the synthesis of other pharmaceutical compounds, such as fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. 2AP inhibits the activity of the enzyme fatty acid synthase by binding to the thiolate moiety on cysteine residues near the active site and thus preventing substrate binding. This inhibition results in a decrease in fatty acid synthesis, which leads to cell death.
