Product Information

• Name: N-Glycidyl phthalimide
• Synonyms: 2-(2-Oxiranylmethyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dioneN-(2,3-Epoxypropyl)phthalimide2,3-Epoxypropylphthalimide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Glycidyl phthalimide is a dithiocarbamic compound that has been shown to inhibit blood coagulation. It is synthesized by the reaction of chloroacetic acid with phthalic anhydride and glycine, which leads to the formation of a homochiral product. N-Glycidyl phthalimide has been shown to be effective in vivo in animal models and has biological relevance, as it can be enzymatically hydrolyzed to form 5-hydroxytetrahydrofolate, which is necessary for DNA synthesis. The rate enhancement of this process may be due to the carbonyl group on the molecule, which interacts with enzymes such as carboxypeptidase A and cathepsin C.
