Description

Methyl 4-(chloroformyl)butyrate is a synthetic compound that is used in the treatment of depression and microbial infections. It is an inhibitor of glutamate, which is a neurotransmitter that activates the ccr5 receptor on white blood cells. This inhibition prevents the activation of the ccr5 receptor by glutamate and its subsequent entry into the cell. Methyl 4-(chloroformyl)butyrate also has anti-inflammatory effects, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. The two stereoisomers of methyl 4-(chloroformyl)butyrate are not chemically identical, and this difference can affect their properties and reactivity with other compounds. The analytical methods for these stereoisomers differ, as does their chemical diversity.
