Product Information

• Name: Dicyclopropyl ketone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dicyclopropyl ketone (DCPK) is a fatty acid that has been shown to have anti-diabetic properties. It alleviates symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, such as pain and tingling, by inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species. DCPK also inhibits cellular processes, including protein synthesis and mitochondrial ATP production. This compound is an inhibitor of the enzyme acetyl CoA carboxylase, which controls the rate of fatty acid synthesis. The inhibitory effects of DCPK on this enzyme may be due to its ability to form a complex with triclosan in aqueous solution. In addition, it has been shown that this compound can affect the redox potential in bacteria and yeast cells.
