Product Information

• Name: 1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-ribopyranose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-b-D-ribopyranose is a lipase inhibitor that belongs to the class of lipolytic enzymes. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of lipases and has demonstrated enantiopure selectivity for the hydrolysis of racemic mixtures. This substance is used in industrial processes as a surrogate for other more expensive substances. The 1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-b-D-ribopyranose has been used as a screening tool to identify potential inhibitors of human pancreatic lipase. The results have shown that this compound inhibits the activity of this enzyme with high specificity and sensitivity.
