Product Information

• Name: (1S)-(+)-10-Camphorsulfonic acid
• Synonyms: (1S,4R)-7,7-Dimethyl-2-oxo-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-1-methanesulfonic acid(+)-Camphor-10-sulfonic acid(+)-b-Camphorsulfonic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (1S)-(+)-10-Camphorsulfonic acid is an organolithium compound that is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The bathochromic shift observed in the infrared spectrum of camphorsulfonic acid at 860 nm is due to the hydrogen bonding between sulfonic acid groups. Camphorsulfonic acid has also been shown to inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase-IV, which results in increased levels of butyric acid, a short chain fatty acid. This inhibition may be responsible for its use as an adjuvant for vaccines.
