Product Information

• Name: 3-Methyl-3-pentanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Methyl-3-pentanol is a monomer that belongs to the group of fatty alcohols. It is a substrate of pancreatic lipase and can be hydrolyzed by this enzyme. The inhibitory effect on the activity of pancreatic lipase has been shown in vitro using Covid-19 pandemic virus (H1N1), which causes influenza. 3-Methyl-3-pentanol also inhibits the activity of hexane, an analytical method for determining the concentration of organic solvents. This monomer has two isomers, 3-methylpentanoic acid and pentenoic acid, which have different molecular structures. Molecular modeling studies show that both forms are able to interact with lipid bilayers in a way similar to other fatty acids. A molecular modeling study has shown that the wild type strain of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus was able to bind to 3-Methyl-3-pentanol amide by forming hydrogen
