Description

2,2-Paracyclophane is a high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP) that has been isolated from the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. This compound has shown to have anti-cancer properties in animal studies. 2,2-Paracyclophane binds to fatty acids and is soluble in water, which may be due to its hydrogen bonding with the hydroxyl group at C1. The crystal structure of this compound reveals that it has a cyclohexane ring and two fatty acids. The thermal expansion coefficient of this molecule is also high, which suggests that it may be suitable for use as a solid lubricant.
