Informations sur le produit

• Nom: 2-Hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid is a natural compound that has been isolated from the bacteria Corynebacterium glutamicum. It is a cyclic pentapeptide with two ester linkages and one hydroxyl group. This molecule is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the active site of enzymes, such as bacterial glutamyl endopeptidase and glutamate decarboxylase, which are involved in peptide and amino acid metabolism. 2-Hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in bowel disease models, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. 2-Hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid also has cytotoxic effects on carcinoma cell lines in vitro.
