Product Information

• Name: 4-((5-Bromopyridin-2-yl)amino)-4-oxobutanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-((5-Bromopyridin-2-yl)amino)-4-oxobutanoic acid (BABA) is a potent photosynthetic inhibitor that inhibits light-driven electron transport in chloroplasts. This inhibition of electron transport leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and cellular dysfunction. BABA is used to induce dormancy in plants and is also used as a chemical inhibitor for arabidopsis thaliana, a type of plant commonly used in molecular biology research. Studies have shown that BABA inhibits the growth of fat cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis, leading to decreased fat deposition. In addition, this drug has been shown to reduce eye disorders such as retinal degeneration and cataracts by inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species, which causes oxidative stress.
