Product Information

• Name: Hydrazine dihydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Hydrazine dihydrochloride (HDH) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula N2H4Cl2. It is used in electrochemistry as an electrolyte and to control enzyme activities. HDH has been shown to inhibit sulfate reduction and phosphatase activity, which may be due to its effect on the cell-specific biochemistry of Sulfolobus solfataricus. Hydrazine dihydrochloride also inhibits water vapor-induced chemiluminescence in methyl glycosides. This inhibition is due to a decrease in the production of hydrogen peroxide and the subsequent decomposition of the product that leads to luminescence. The mechanism for this inhibition is unknown, but it may be due to its ability to bind to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Hydrazine dihydrochloride has also been shown to have fluorescent properties that can be used as a probe for detecting DNA damage in cells.
