Product Information

• Name: 1-Methylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Methylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid is a reactive, stereoisomeric amide with an alkaline metal. It can be prepared by the reaction of methoxide and nitrobenzene in the presence of a base such as potassium hydroxide. 1-Methylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid has been shown to have potent antitumor activity against solid tumors in vivo. This compound was also shown to inhibit the growth of human prostate cancer cells in vitro. Additionally, 1-methylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid has been shown to inhibit the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from xylene and other aromatic hydrocarbons, which may be due to its ability to nitrosylate these compounds and prevent them from reacting with oxygen.
