Product Information

• Name: Trichloroethyl b-D-glucuronide potassium salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trichloroethyl b-D-glucuronide potassium salt (TCEBG) is a chloral compound that is metabolized to trichloroacetic acid. It has been shown to be carcinogenic in rats, but not in mice. Trichloroethyl b-D-glucuronide potassium salt has been used as an experimental agent for the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies. TCEBG binds to rat liver microsomes and CD1 mouse liver microsomes, which may be due to its high lipophilicity. TCEBG also disrupts cell membranes and induces cell death by inhibiting protein synthesis at the ribosome level.
