Product Information

• Name: 3,5-Difluorophenylacetic acid
• Synonyms: 2-(3,5-Difluorophenyl)acetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,5-Difluorophenylacetic acid is a compound that inhibits the activity of the enzyme α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGD) in vitro and in vivo. 3,5-Difluorophenylacetic acid has shown inhibitory properties against KGD in vitro assays with an IC 50 of 0.6 mM. In vivo tests have also been conducted showing that 3,5-difluorophenylacetic acid inhibited KGD activity in the brain with an IC 50 of 1.2 mM. The inhibition of KGD by 3,5-difluorophenylacetic acid may be due to its photochemical properties and the fact that it is an oxalyl chloride substrate.3,5-Difluorophenylacetic acid has also been shown to be a γ-secretase inhibitor which means it could be effective for Alzheimer's disease treatment as well as other neurodeg
