Product Information

• Name: Potassium vinyltrifluoroborate
• Synonyms: Potassium (ethenyl)trifluoroborate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Potassium vinyltrifluoroborate is a salt that contains the inorganic anion potassium and the organic ligand vinyltrifluoroborate. It is used as an electrolyte in electrochemical cells, such as fuel cells, to increase power output by increasing the conductivity of the electrolyte. This compound has been shown to be effective against chronic kidney disease and infectious diseases such as HIV and malaria. Potassium vinyltrifluoroborate also has anti-cancer properties due to its ability to inhibit cellular proliferation and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. The mechanism of action of this drug is still unclear but may be due to its ability to inhibit proteases, such as ns3 protease found in human erythrocytes.
