Description

N-Methylmaleimide is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of diazo compounds. It has been shown to have a strong inhibitory effect on fatty acid synthesis in body mass index (BMI) and furfuryl acetate-induced adipocyte differentiation in Xenopus oocytes. N-Methylmaleimide is an activator of amino acids, which provides evidence for a nucleophilic attack at the α carbon atom. This reaction can be used to synthesize fatty acids with different lengths and structures, such as palmitic acid or stearic acid. The final product can be analyzed by gas chromatography or liquid chromatography.
