Product Information

• Name: 2-Hydroxy-3,5-dichloro-benzenesulphonic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxy-3,5-dichloro-benzenesulphonic acid (2HDCBS) is a p-hydroxybenzoic acid derivative that is used in wastewater treatment. It is an inhibitor of cholesterol esterase and is used as a diagnostic agent. 2HDCBS also inhibits the activity of other enzymes such as phosphatases and acyl chains, which are important for the synthesis of lipids. 2HDCBS has been shown to be effective in reducing serum cholesterol levels, but can cause metabolic disorders when used at high doses. The optimum pH for this compound is between 4 and 7. 2HDCBS binds to the red blood cell membrane by covalent bonding to the nitrogen atoms of the amino groups on its surface. This binding causes erythrocytes to lose their deformability and leads to hemolysis with destruction of red blood cells.
