Product Information

• Name: 3-N-Maleimidobenzoic acid N-succinimidyl ester
• Synonyms: 3-(2,5-Dihydro-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzoic acid 2,5-dioxo-1-pyrrolidinyl esterm-Maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimideNSC 2947 86
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-N-Maleimidobenzoic acid N-succinimidyl ester is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme aromatase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrogens. 3-N-Maleimidobenzoic acid N-succinimidyl ester binds covalently to the active site of aromatase, thereby inhibiting its activity. This drug also has been shown to be effective in reducing the production of blood group antigens in rats. 3-N-Maleimidobenzoic acid N-succinimidyl ester binds to homologous proteins, such as albumins and hemoglobins, and inhibits their function. The drug can be used as an immunogen to produce antibodies against these proteins. Toxicity studies have been conducted with this drug in rats and mice with no observed adverse effects at doses up to 500 mg/kg.
