Product Information

• Name: Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is a chemical compound that has been used in the synthesis of fluorescence probes and pharmaceuticals. It has an electron-withdrawing effect on the nitrogen atom, which enables it to react with amines. Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is a potent inhibitor of esterases, which are enzymes that hydrolyze esters. Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate inhibits HIV infection by binding to gp120 and preventing receptor binding. This reaction also leads to conformational changes in gp120 and causes gp41 to insert into the membrane, disrupting fusion of viral and cellular membranes and inhibiting viral replication.
