Product Information

• Name: 1-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4,4-difluorobutane-1,3-dione
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4,4-difluorobutane-1,3-dione is a drug that inhibits the enzyme ido1, which plays an important role in immune response to viruses. This compound binds to the active site of ido1 and blocks the conversion of tryptophan to kynurenine. It has been shown to be effective against endometriosis and inorganic mercury poisoning as well as inhibiting HIV infection and cancer. 1-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-4,4-difluorobutane-1,3-dione is a chiral molecule with two enantiomers: R and S. The R form has been shown to be more potent than the S form. The polymorphic nature of this compound can lead to different physical properties depending on its crystalline state; for example, it may exist as either a monoclinic or cubic crystal structure
