Description

6-(Trifluoroacetylamino)-1-Hexanol is a magnetic compound that has been shown to bind to liposomes and hydrophobic membranes. It is also amphipathic, meaning it contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. This compound can be used for the diagnosis of certain diseases, such as cancer, by detecting gadolinium ions in the body. 6-(Trifluoroacetylamino)-1-Hexanol is also an imidazolide ligand that binds to ribonucleotides and nucleic acid matrix proteins. This allows it to be used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
