Product Information

• Name: (2,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (2,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid is a natural compound that has been shown to inhibit integrase enzymes in vitro. The chemical structure of (2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid is similar to that of the herbimycin antibiotics, which are also known as ansamycins. These compounds have been shown to be potential therapeutics for cancer and HIV infection. Ansamycins inhibit the activity of integrase enzymes by binding to the enzyme's active site, preventing it from carrying out its normal function. This prevents the integration of viral DNA into host cells, thus inhibiting virus replication.
