Product Information

• Name: 5-(4-Bromophenyl)-5-oxovaleric acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-(4-Bromophenyl)-5-oxovaleric acid is a molecule that has been synthesized to be used as a cancer drug. It is an amide derivative of the natural compound valproic acid and is being developed for the treatment of cancers, such as leukemia and melanoma. 5-(4-Bromophenyl)-5-oxovaleric acid has been shown to inhibit the function of integrin, which plays a role in cell adhesion and migration, with potential applications in wound healing. The molecule has also been shown to have chemokine binding properties and may be useful in the treatment of diseases where chemokines are involved, such as HIV or AIDS. This compound also binds to CCR5 receptor and inhibits HIV entry into cells. The molecule has also been shown to antagonize survivin, an antiapoptotic protein that protects cells from undergoing apoptosis and prevents tumor suppression. The affinity of 5-(4-bromophenyl
