Product Information

• Name: 1-Nitro-4-propoxybenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Nitro-4-propoxybenzene is a covalent inhibitor of aspartic acid proteases. It is an aspartic acid analog that competes with the natural substrate for the active site and inhibits the transpeptidation reaction. This compound has been shown to be highly selective against renin, which is a key enzyme in the blood coagulation cascade. The 1-nitro group can be replaced by other groups to modulate potency or selectivity. These modifications may also improve water solubility, stability, or bioavailability.
