Product Information

• Name: Biphenyl-4-thiol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Biphenyl-4-thiol is a biphenyl derivative that is used in the treatment of fatty acid oxidation disorders. It is a lipophilic molecule that accumulates in red blood cells and can be detected by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Biphenyl-4-thiol has been shown to interact with the lipid bilayer, which may be due to its ability to form monolayers on the surface of red blood cells. The dipole moment of biphenyl-4-thiol causes an accumulation of electrons on one side of the molecule, which leads to electrochemical impedance changes upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation. X-ray absorption studies have shown that biphenyl-4-thiol has good chemical stability, which may be due to its aromaticity.
