• Synonyms: (4R)-4-(Phenylmethyl)-2-oxazolidinone(+)-4-Benzyl-2-oxazolidinone(4R)-4-(Phenylmethyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (R)-4-Benzyl-2-oxazolidinone is a transport inhibitor that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. It inhibits the activity of β-amino acid oxidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of β-amino acids to α-keto acids, which are then converted to amino acids and α-hydroxy acids. This inhibition prevents the production of γ-secretase inhibitors and reduces the formation of amyloid beta peptides. (R)-4-Benzyl-2-oxazolidinone also inhibits fatty acid synthase, preventing the formation of long chain fatty acids. The compound has been shown to have stereoselective properties, with one enantiomer being more potent than its counterpart.
