Product Information

• Name: (-)-Biotin sulfoxide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (-)-Biotin sulfoxide is a metabolite of biotin that is produced by the oxidation of sulfhydryl groups in vivo. It is also a substrate for enzymes such as sulfoxide reductase and molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis protein A, which are involved in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. (-)-Biotin sulfoxide has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of human pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, and Shigella flexneri. This compound is structurally similar to biotin, but has a different light signal when exposed to light.
