Product Information

• Name: N-(Hexanoyloxy)succinimide
• Synonyms: 1-[(1-Oxohexyl)oxy]-2,5-pyrrolidinedioneHexanoic acid 2,5-dioxo-1-pyrrolidinyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-(Hexanoyloxy)succinimide (HSU) is a hydrophobic, non-ionic surfactant that can be used as a surface-active agent. HSU is synthesized from succinic acid and hexanoyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. It has been shown to denature collagen and to activate monoclonal antibodies, which are important for many diagnostic applications. HSU also displays surfactant properties when it is mixed with water at the air-water interface, where it stabilizes the water surface by adsorption, preventing droplet coalescence. This surfactant has been shown to increase the rate of oxygen transfer across the blood-gas barrier in an animal model.
