Product Information

• Name: Allantoic acid
• Synonyms: Diureido-acetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Allantoin is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C4H6N2O3. It is a dihydroxyimide of uric acid and can be found in plants. Allantoin has been shown to inhibit transcriptional regulation by binding to dinucleotide phosphate (DNP) sites on DNA. This inhibition blocks the binding of RNA polymerase, preventing RNA synthesis and ultimately inhibiting bacterial growth. Allantoin has been shown to have antioxidant properties and was able to prevent lipid peroxidation in human serum samples. It also has been shown to improve enzyme activity in reaction solutions containing allantoic acid.
