Description

4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol is a potent inhibitor of CXCR4, a receptor for chemokines that is involved in the trafficking of immune cells. It binds to CXCR4 and blocks its activation by HIV-1 gp120. 4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol inhibits both CXCR4-dependent and -independent chemotaxis. This compound also has a hydroxy group which can be used for the synthesis of β-amino acids or p-hydroxybenzoic acid. 4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol also has a monoclonal antibody that recognizes it, which can be used as an immunogen to raise antibodies against this molecule. The disulfide bond in 4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol prevents oxidation, which makes it stable at high temperatures.
