• Description: Cyclohexyl methanesulfonate is a synthetic compound that acts as an inhibitor of the CCR5 receptor. It blocks the binding of HIV-1 to cells and prevents infection. Cyclohexyl methanesulfonate has been shown to be effective in preventing inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn's disease, and autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes mellitus. Cyclohexyl methanesulfonate is a low-energy radical that can be synthesized using hydrochloric acid or sodium carbonate in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. The synthesis requires a hydroxybenzoic acid and a trifluoromethanesulfonic acid for the formation of cyclohexane.
