Product Information

• Name: 1-Carbethoxyimidazole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Carbethoxyimidazole (1CBI) is a kinetic inhibitor that competes with ATP for binding to the enzyme phosphofructokinase. It inhibits the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which is an important step in glycolysis. 1CBI has been shown to be effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex and has inactivated kinetics. This drug has a hydroxy group on the carboxylate side chain that may react with other molecules, such as creatine kinase.
