Product Information

• Name: 2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine is a hydrophobic compound that is not soluble in water. It has a bound form and can be titrated with calorimetry. 2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine is synthesized by reacting 2,2,4-trimethylpentane with methoxyacetone in the presence of sodium methylate. The compound has been detected as an odorant in numerous plant species and is believed to play a role in plant physiology. 2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine has been shown to have potent antiviral activity against infectious diseases such as HIV, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), and varicella zoster virus (VZV). This specific antiviral activity may be due to its ability to bind fatty acids by hydrogen bonds, which may interfere with the synthesis of viral membranes.
