Product Information

• Name: a-Chaconine
• Synonyms: (3b)-Solanid-5-en-3-yl O-6-deoxy-a-L-mannopyranosyl-(1-2)-O-(6-deoxy-a-L-mannopyranosyl-(1-4))-b-D-glucopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: α-Chaconine is a glycoalkaloid compound, which is a naturally occurring chemical derived from plants in the Solanaceae family, particularly potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). It functions by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve function, leading to neuromuscular disruption. This inhibition results in increased levels of acetylcholine in synaptic clefts, causing prolonged nerve excitation and potential paralysis.
