Descripción

6-Mercapto-1-hexanol is a redox active molecule that has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase. It has also been shown to inhibit the polymerase chain reaction and transfer reactions, including those mediated by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol can be detected with high sensitivity in human serum, which is its main application for the diagnosis of HIV infection. This compound reacts with molecular oxygen to form superoxide radicals, which are responsible for its redox potential. The rate constant for this reaction has been shown to be dependent on pH and temperature. 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol can also form stable complexes with proteins such as albumin or human immunoglobulin G (IgG). These complexes have been shown to exhibit electrochemical impedance spectroscopy activity at low concentrations and chemical stability in biological media.
