Product Information

• Name: 2-Ethylpentanoic acid methyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Ethylpentanoic acid methyl ester is an analog of indirubin, which is a natural compound found in human urine. This compound has shown potential as an anticancer agent due to its ability to inhibit protein kinases, which are enzymes that play a crucial role in cancer cell growth and survival. 2-Ethylpentanoic acid methyl ester has been shown to induce apoptosis in Chinese hamster ovary cells and to inhibit tumor growth in mice. It has also been tested as a potential inhibitor of various kinases involved in cancer progression, such as cyclin-dependent kinase 2 and glycogen synthase kinase-3β. With its promising results, this compound may hold great potential for the development of new cancer therapies.
