Product Information

• Name: Barbatic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Barbatic acid is a natural compound derived from D-xylose that has been shown to have anticancer properties. It works by inhibiting kinases, which are enzymes that play a role in tumor growth and progression. Barbatic acid has been found to induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells without affecting normal cells. This makes it a promising candidate for cancer treatment. In addition, barbatic acid has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of human and Chinese hamster ovary cells in culture. It is also present in urine and has been isolated from a strain of bacteria. Overall, barbatic acid shows potential as a novel inhibitor of kinases for the treatment of cancer.
