Produktinformation

• Name: Ethyl 4-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Ethyl 4-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate (ETP) is a synthetic chemical that can be used as a test compound for cancer research. ETP has been shown to inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. It has also been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of liver cancer cells. ETP inhibits the production of endogenous retinoids, which are naturally occurring compounds derived from vitamin A, by binding to lysine residues on histones. This prevents the transcription and replication of DNA, thereby preventing cell division. The terminal half-life of this compound is approximately 1 hour in humans.
