Product Information

• Name: Dec-9-en-2-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dec-9-en-2-one is a molecule with two stereoisomers, D and L. The D stereoisomer is the most prevalent form found in nature. It is produced by enzymatic or chemical reactions that occur in the stomach or small intestine, or by the methylation of other compounds. The major use of the D stereoisomer is as a treatment for various types of cancer. Dec-9-en-2-one has been shown to inhibit tumor cells by interfering with their ability to divide and replicate DNA. This inhibition can be accomplished by inhibiting either purine synthesis or DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) activity, which are both essential for DNA replication. Dec-9-en-2-one also inhibits lipid peroxidation and has been shown to activate the antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway, which may contribute to its anti cancer effects.
