Product Information

• Name: 3-(Tritylthio)propionic acid
• Synonyms: S-Trityl-b-mercaptopropionic acid3-Tritylsulfanyl-propionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-(Tritylthio)propionic acid is a cyclic lipopeptide that has been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells and bacteria. The compound has also been shown to be an effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial with a neutral pH. 3-(Tritylthio)propionic acid is synthesized by coupling an amine with a thiol containing molecule in the presence of hydrogen fluoride. This process produces a cyclic peptide that is stabilized by a disulfide bond between two cysteine residues. Hydrogen bonding interactions between 3-(tritylthio)propionic acid molecules allow for the formation of nanomaterials, which may have potential applications in medical imaging.
