Product Information

• Name: (2S)-3-Methyl-2-(4-methylbenzenesulfonamido)butanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (2S)-3-Methyl-2-(4-methylbenzenesulfonamido)butanoic acid is a serine protease inhibitor that binds to the active site of serine proteases, such as those found in Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. The compound has been shown to inhibit amyloid beta peptide production and to have an inhibitory effect on the progression of Alzheimer's disease. It has also been shown to prevent neuronal death following traumatic brain injury. The mechanism by which (2S)-3-Methyl-2-(4-methylbenzenesulfonamido)butanoic acid inhibits amyloid beta peptide production is not yet clear, but it may be due to its ability to inhibit enzymes involved in histidine metabolism or its ability to bind with a catalytic site on the enzyme.
