Description

Tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane-2-acetic acid is a catalyst that can be used in the reduction of 2-adamantanone to butyric acid by aluminium. This compound has also been used as an analog for other catalytic systems such as lactams and monoamides. Tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane-2-acetic acid has been shown to have an affinity for 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11βHSD). This enzyme is involved in the conversion of cortisone to cortisol and is critical for the regulation of glucocorticoid hormones and mineralocorticoids in humans and other mammals. It has also been shown to inhibit chloride ion transport, which increases sodium ion uptake by cells and leads to a decrease in blood pressure when combined with sodium hypochlorite (bleach) treatment.br>br
