Product Information

• Name: 3,6-Dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,6-Dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid is an extracellular metabolite that is involved in the metabolism of muscle. It is produced as a byproduct of the reaction catalyzed by dehydrogenase, which converts 3,6-dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene to 2-carboxybenzothiophene. This compound has been shown to inhibit the enzyme histidine carboxylate synthetase, which is involved in branched-chain amino acid synthesis. The enzyme can be inhibited by either a wild type or an analog of 3,6-dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid.
