Produktinformation

• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 2-(1-Imidazolyl)-1-phenylethanol is an insecticide that belongs to the carbamate class of compounds. It is a racemic mixture of two stereoisomers, 14α-demethylase and 14β-demethylase. 2-(1-Imidazolyl)-1-phenylethanol has been shown to have potent activity against protozoan parasites, such as Leishmania species and Plasmodium falciparum. This compound binds to the enzyme 14α-demethylase in the protozoan parasite and prevents the formation of cholesterol from acetate. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to a decrease in the production of cell membranes, which causes cell death. 2-(1-Imidazolyl)-1-phenylethanol has also been shown to inhibit human monocytic cells by binding to their 14β-demethylase and blocking cholesterol synthesis.
