Propofol 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-b-D-glucuronide methyl ester

Ref. 3D-MP07349

Product Information

• Name: Propofol 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-b-D-glucuronide methyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Propofol is a general anesthetic that is used to induce and maintain anesthesia. It binds to GABA receptors in the brain, leading to suppression of neuronal activity. Propofol is metabolized by esterases in the liver, resulting in its active form 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-b-D-glucuronide methyl ester. This active form inhibits glycolysis by inhibiting the conversion of glucose to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by phosphoglucose isomerase and triose phosphate isomerase respectively. It also inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the ribosomes and preventing peptide bond formation on amino acids.
