Description

Cycloheptanecarboxylic acid is a metabolite of the shikimate pathway, which is an important metabolic pathway for bacteria. It is also produced by the human body and is involved in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. In vitro studies have shown that cycloheptanecarboxylic acid inhibits inflammatory diseases by blocking the production of a number of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. Cycloheptanecarboxylic acid has also been shown to be effective against autoimmune diseases. This drug's mechanism of action may be due to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids, which are necessary for immune cells to produce inflammatory molecules. Cycloheptanecarboxylic acid has been found to be a reactive molecule that binds with chloride ions and fatty acids (5-membered heteroaryl). The effective dose for cycloheptanecarbox
