Produktinformation

• Name: α-Terpineol
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Alpha-terpineol is a terpene alcohol that exhibits cytotoxic effects on cells. It has been shown to cause cell lysis in both bacteria and mammalian cells, which may be due to its reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Alpha-terpineol is also an effective agent against infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. This molecule has a high resistance to chemical degradation, making it a promising anticancer agent. Alpha-terpineol can inhibit the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by binding to the enzyme DNA polymerase, thereby preventing the synthesis of DNA molecules. It can also bind to the enzyme RNA polymerase and inhibit the transcription of mRNA into protein molecules. Lastly, alpha-terpineol is known for its genotoxic effects in vivo and in vitro. The genotoxicity of alpha-terpineol has been demonstrated using several different methods including electron microscopy, chemical stability assays, surface methodology experiments on kidney bean extract,
