Description

Tributyl Citrate is a catalyst used in organic synthesis. It is typically used as a reaction solvent and to increase the rate of reactions. Tributyl Citrate reacts with water to produce citric acid, which can then be used as an acidic catalyst. In addition, Tributyl Citrate has been shown to have anticancer properties and is being studied for use in bowel disease and autoimmune diseases. The mechanism of this drug's anticancer properties is not fully understood, but it may have something to do with the ability of Tributyl Citrate to bind water molecules and alter their permeability through cell membranes.
