Product Information

• Name: (S)-(+)-N-(3,5-Dinitrobenzoyl)-α-phenylglycine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-(+)-N-(3,5-Dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-phenylglycine is a chiral compound that is made up of two enantiomers. It has been shown to be a potent anthelmintic drug, but it is not currently used clinically due to its high toxicity. This compound destroys the parasite's gut lining by reacting with sulfoxide and capillaries in the intestine. The sulfoxide reacts with the pyrrole to form a sulfoxonium ion, which reacts with amino acid residues in the parasite's cell membrane to form a covalent bond. This reaction disrupts the integrity of the parasite's cell membrane and leads to cell death.
