Product Information

• Name: Boc-p-Aminobenzoic Acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Boc-p-Aminobenzoic Acid is an extracellular peptidase inhibitor that has been shown to be damaging to cells. It is a conjugate of p-aminobenzoic acid with the unusual amino acid Boc, which inhibits the activity of proteinases and peptidases. This drug is used for the treatment of emphysema, an autoimmune disease, and prostate carcinoma. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of some tumor cells by blocking cell division and DNA synthesis. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) is responsible for the conversion of carbon dioxide into bicarbonate ions in tissues. Boc-p-Aminobenzoic Acid can inhibit CAII, which may lead to tissue damage or death.
