Product Information

• Name: (R)-(+)-1,2,4-Butanetriol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (R)-(+)-1,2,4-Butanetriol is a molecule that has been shown to have cancer-fighting properties. It is used in clinical trials to treat cancer by inhibiting the growth of cells. This drug binds to the site on the protein that is responsible for cell division and prevents the formation of new cells, thereby preventing tumor growth. The mechanism of action for this drug is not yet fully understood but it may be due to its ability to inhibit calcium channels or interfere with protein synthesis. (R)-(+)-1,2,4-Butanetriol has also been shown in laboratory studies to bind with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and prevent it from attaching to CD4 T-cells. This drug has been tested in humans as an anti-HIV treatment and showed promising results in a questionnaire study.
