Product Information

• Name: 4-Chlorocinnamaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Chlorocinnamaldehyde is a chemical that has been found to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on biochemical reactions and is chemically stable at room temperature. 4-Chlorocinnamaldehyde inhibits bacterial tyrosinase activity by reacting with the active site cysteine residue, which also leads to cross-resistance. The compound's inhibitory effect on tyrosinase is reversible, making it an ideal candidate for use as a topical treatment for acne. It has also been found that 4-chlorocinnamaldehyde can induce apoptosis in rat cardiomyocytes, suggesting that it may be useful in treating heart disease. This chemical reacts with thiosemicarbazide to produce two products: 4-chlorothiophenol and 4-chlorophenylhydrazone. The reaction products are then hydrolyzed into chloride ions and phenol.
