Product Information

• Name: α-Hydroxyfarnesylphosphonic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: α-Hydroxyfarnesylphosphonic acid is a potent inhibitor of the farnesyltransferase enzyme, which plays a crucial role in the phosphorylation of proteins involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. α-Hydroxyfarnesylphosphonic acid inhibits the activity of kinases involved in cell cycle progression, leading to cell death by inducing apoptosis. This compound has been tested on human leukemia cell lines and has demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity. It is a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of cancer, as it selectively targets cancer cells without affecting normal cells. The potential clinical applications of α-Hydroxyfarnesylphosphonic acid as an inhibitor of protein phosphorylation make it an exciting area of research for future drug development.
