Product Information

• Name: 2-(4-Octylphenyl)-1-iodoethane
• Synonyms: 1-(2-Iodoethyl)-4-octyl-benzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(4-Octylphenyl)-1-iodoethane is a drug substance that has been shown to have potent anti-cancer activity in biological studies. The compound is an analog of the pharmaceutical agent fty720, which is being studied for its potential use as a treatment for multiple sclerosis. This compound may be used in the treatment of cancer and associated conditions such as inflammatory diseases. 2-(4-Octylphenyl)-1-iodoethane activates regulatory phosphatases, which are enzymes that regulate cellular processes such as DNA repair and cell cycle progression. Activating these enzymes can lead to a decrease in tumor size and growth. 2-(4-Octylphenyl)-1-iodoethane may also act by inhibiting the production of styrene, which is an impurity found in this drug substance.
