Product Information

• Name: Bromocycloheptane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Bromocycloheptane is a c6 alkyl that functions as an uptake inhibitor. It is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds, such as imidazole derivatives. Bromocycloheptane has been shown to inhibit uptake in the brain and consequently reduce infarctions in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. Bromocycloheptane inhibits uptake by blocking the function of the carrier protein, which carries neurotransmitters from synapses to axons and dendrites. Bromocycloheptane binds to magnesium ions, which are necessary for hydrolysis of ATP and therefore for uptake into cells. The magnesium ion is found in many enzymes involved in cellular processes, including those that produce ATP, so bromocycloheptane may interfere with cell function by interfering with these enzymes. This drug also blocks the production of lactam, a precursor molecule to GABA, which can be synthesized by glutamic acid decarboxyl
