Product Information

• Name: Cyclopentylurea
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cyclopentylurea is an inhibitor of the NS3 protease, which is an enzyme that plays a key role in the replication of the hepatitis C virus. Cyclopentylurea binds to the active site of this enzyme and blocks its activity. This inhibition prevents the production of new viral particles and can help treat chronic hepatitis C. Cyclopentylurea has also been shown to have anti-cancer effects, as it inhibits protein synthesis in tumour cells and induces their apoptosis.
