Product Information

• Name: S-(+)-1-Aminotetrahydronaphthalene
• Synonyms: (S)-(+)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-naphthylamine(S)-(+)-1-Aminotetralin(S)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1-naphthalenamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: S-(+)-1-Aminotetrahydronaphthalene is an amido derivative that is the enantiomer of S-(-)-1-amino-N,N'-diphenylformamide. It has been shown to have anti-obesity effects in mice by increasing energy expenditure and reducing food intake. S-(+)-1-Aminotetrahydronaphthalene also inhibits the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue, which may be due to its ability to suppress lipolysis. The molecular mechanism for these effects is not yet known, but it is thought that the amide group on this compound interacts with certain protein surfaces and steric interactions are involved in its activity.
