Product Information

• Name: Copper(I) 2-Thiophenecarboxylate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Copper(I) 2-Thiophenecarboxylate is a copper complex that has been shown to inhibit the polymerase chain reaction. It binds to the active site of DNA polymerases, blocking the ability of these enzymes to synthesize DNA. This inhibition is irreversible and can be reversed by adding excess thiophenecarboxylate ligands. Copper(I) 2-Thiophenecarboxylate also inhibits lipid kinases, which are involved in signal transduction pathways that regulate immune responses and inflammation. The compound may have potential for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The synthesis of this compound is an example of asymmetric synthesis.
