Product Information

• Name: 1-O-Hexadecyl-rac-glycerol
• Synonyms: Chimyl alcohol1-O-Palmityl-rac-glycerol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-O-Hexadecyl-rac-glycerol (1OHR) is a synthetic compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of leukemia and other cells in vitro. It inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in carbohydrate chemistry, such as benzalkonium chloride, surface glycoprotein, monoclonal antibody, and enzyme activities. It also causes cytosolic Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and decreases the concentration of intracellular calcium. 1OHR has a minimal toxicity for mammalian cells and does not inhibit protein synthesis.
