Product Information

• Name: atractyloside A
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Atractyloside A is a natural toxin that acts as a potent mitochondrial ATP synthase inhibitor. It is derived primarily from plants in the Asteraceae family, notably Atractylis gummifera. The compound functions by binding to the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) located on the inner mitochondrial membrane, effectively blocking the exchange of ADP and ATP across this vital barrier. This inhibition disrupts ATP synthesis, inducing cellular energy deficits and potentially leading to apoptosis.
