Product Information

• Name: 2,5-Diphenyloxazole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,5-Diphenyloxazole is an inhibitor of aminotransferase activity. It has been shown to have potent inhibitory activity against fatty acid synthesis in rat liver microsomes. 2,5-Diphenyloxazole is not active against radiation or the molecule itself. The mechanism of action involves a hydrogen bond between the amine group and hydroxyl group on the oxazole ring. This leads to the formation of a covalent bond between the amine and methylene groups on adjacent molecules, preventing them from reacting with each other. This inhibition can be reversed by adding an electron mediator such as luminol to react with the hydrogen covalently bound to the oxazole ring.
