Product Information

• Name: 1-Benzyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene glycerol
• Synonyms: 2,2-Dimethyl-4-[(phenylmethoxy)methyl]-1,3-dioxolane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Benzyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene glycerol is a chemical compound that is classified as an atypical inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases. This means that it inhibits the enzyme phosphatase, which is involved in the activation of many other enzymes. It has been shown to have potential as a drug for treating Alzheimer's disease and cancer. 1-Benzyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene glycerol interacts with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and activates this enzyme, leading to inhibition of cell growth and apoptosis. 1B has been shown to be overactive in some cancer cells and may play a role in the development of cancers such as breast cancer.
