Product Information

• Name: Aminooxyacetic acid hydrochoride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Aminooxyacetic acid hydrochoride is a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor that binds to the active site of the enzyme and prevents it from producing nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is an important molecule in many biological processes, such as vasodilation, neurotransmission, and cell signaling. This inhibitor has been shown to be effective against a number of cancers including prostate cancer cells and breast cancer cells. Aminooxyacetic acid hydrochoride has also been shown to increase the expression of basic proteins in neuronal cells and inhibit DNA synthesis by binding to polymerase chain reaction primers. It also inhibits α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are involved in learning and memory. A matrix effect on wild-type strains has been observed when aminooxyacetic acid hydrochloride is added to culture media as well.
