Product Information

• Name: Cyclooctanecarboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cyclooctanecarboxylic acid is a hydroxylated monocarboxylic acid that has been shown to inhibit the activity of various enzymes. It is a polar molecule with a diameter of about 1.5 nm, which can be used as a polarizer in light microscopy. Cyclooctanecarboxylic acid has been shown to inhibit the production of hepatitis C virus particles and insulin resistance in mammalian cells. It also inhibits viral replication by interfering with the synthesis of viral proteins, inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division. Cyclooctanecarboxylic acid is an inhibitor for many compounds, including inhibitors for cholesterol biosynthesis, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease inhibitors, and protein kinase C inhibitors.
