Product Information

• Name: (R)-VANOL
• Synonyms: (R)-3,3?-Diphenyl-2,2?-bi-1-naphthalol, (R)-3,3?-Diphenyl-2,2?-bi-1-naphthol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (R)-VANOL is a polymerase inhibitor that has been shown to inhibit the activity of the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. It binds to the enzyme's active site and blocks the nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl group on the sugar residue, which prevents the formation of a covalent bond between these two groups. This results in a decrease in the rate of synthesis of DNA, which can lead to cell death. (R)-VANOL is an organic molecule that can be synthesized using a variety of techniques, such as asymmetric synthesis or chemical ligation. The drug interacts with copper ions, which are required for its function, through hydrogen bonding interactions.
