Brand:Biosynth
Description:2-Cyclohexylpropanoic acid (2CPA) is a naturally occurring compound that has been shown to have antioxidant properties. It has been shown to inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species, such as peroxides, which are involved in membrane lipid peroxidation. 2CPA also inhibits the oxidation of branched-chain amino acids by inhibiting the activity of dehydrogenase enzymes and preventing the production of reactive aldehydes. 2CPA has been shown to induce melatonin synthesis in cells and can be used as a rinse for membranes. The mechanism of its antioxidant activity is not known, but it may involve the inhibition of phosphite reductase or other phosphorylated enzymes. This chiral compound can exist as either enantiomers, with only one form shown to have any biological activity.
