• Description: 4-(N-Maleimido)benzyl-a-trimethylammonium iodide is a carotenoid that acts as an agonist binding site for the receptor molecule. It has been shown to inhibit tumor cell growth and induce apoptosis. 4-(N-Maleimido)benzyl-a-trimethylammonium iodide binds to the redox potential of iron atoms, which are important in many biochemical reactions and in maintaining iron homeostasis. The x-ray crystal structures of this compound show that it has a chemical biology model system and can be used to study the function of toll-like receptors. This drug also has an irreversible inhibition effect on cation channels, which may be due to its ability to block the opening of these channels by binding to them.
