Product Information

• Name: 1-(2-Furoyl)piperazine
• Synonyms: Terazosin hydrochloride dihydrate impurity L
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-(2-Furoyl)piperazine is a potent inhibitor of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in the production of melanin. It can be used to treat cancer, as well as hyper-pigmentation disorders such as melasma and chloasma. 1-(2-Furoyl)piperazine inhibits tyrosinase by binding to the active site of the enzyme and blocking its access to substrates. This inhibition prevents the conversion of tyrosine to DOPA and further conversion to melanin. 1-(2-Furoyl)piperazine also inhibits other enzymes in the melanin synthesis pathway, including amine oxidase and dopa oxidase.
