Product Information

• Name: 2-Hexylpyrazine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hexylpyrazine is a heterocyclic organic compound that belongs to the group of alkynyl pyrazines. It is used as a solid catalyst in organic reactions, such as methylation, esterification, and alkylation. 2-Hexylpyrazine has been shown to be effective for bowel disease and inflammatory bowel disease. It has also been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth and is being studied for its potential use in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. 2-Hexylpyrazine is metabolized by bile acids and inflammatory cells into a reactive species which activates G protein coupled receptors on the surface of cells, leading to increased chloride ion concentrations within the cell. This leads to inhibition of dopamine D3 receptor signaling, which may have anti-inflammatory effects.
