• Beschreibung: 5-Methyl-1,3-oxazole (5MOX) is a chiral molecule that belongs to the class of polyatomic compounds. It has an aldehyde functional group and is used as a precursor for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. 5MOX can be accessed through dehydration of ethyl acetate or benzene. The compound crystallizes in a different form depending on the temperature at which it is cooled. At room temperature, it forms crystals similar to those of covid-19 pandemic, while at higher temperatures it forms crystals with methyl groups on one side. 5MOX has been shown to inhibit neprilysin, an enzyme that degrades amyloid beta peptide in Alzheimer’s disease patients and mice models. This property makes 5MOX an attractive candidate for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
