Product Information

• Name: 4-Ethylcyclohexanol (cis- and trans- mixture)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Ethylcyclohexanol (4EC) is a chemical that has been shown to have many pharmacological activities. It binds to the dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine receptors in the brain, which may be responsible for its effects on mood and behaviour. 4EC also blocks the reuptake of monoamines by competing with them for binding sites at the synapse. The mechanism of action of 4EC is not fully understood, but it may involve inhibition of enzymes involved in fat metabolism. This chemical has been shown to block fatty acid oxidation and promote lipolysis in adipocytes. 4EC also inhibits malic acid synthesis and increases levels of pentenoic acid in diabetic neuropathy patients.
