Product Information

• Name: (+/-)-Trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (+/-)-Trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane is a chiral compound that is used in the preparation of anticancer drugs. It has been shown to inhibit cancer cell lines in a linear regression analysis and inhibits tumor growth by chelating copper ions. The 5-membered ring of the molecule forms hydrogen bonding interactions with the 3-mercaptopropionic acid. (+/-)-Trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane binds to DNA through its chloride group and inhibits DNA synthesis by reacting with amino groups on the phosphate backbone of DNA. This reaction leads to formation of a stable covalent intermediate between (+/-)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane and the 5' phosphate group on one strand of DNA. This inhibition results in decreased levels of cyclohexane ring, which prevents tumor growth.
