Product Information

• Name: b-Chloro-L-alanine hydrochloride
• Synonyms: b-Chloro-L-Ala-OH·HCl(R)-2-Amino-3-chloropropionic acid hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: b-Chloro-L-alanine hydrochloride (BCA) is a synthetic compound that has been shown to have anticarcinogenic and antioxidant effects. It can be produced by the hydrogen peroxide-dependent oxidation of b-chloroalanine. BCA's effect on cancer cells is attributed to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of sulfoxides, which are needed for the biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. BCA also inhibits oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals and reactive oxygen species. This product has been shown to be effective in treating Aeropyrum pernix infections, which are caused by a type of anaerobic bacteria with a metabolic pathway that includes sulfide oxidation.
