Product Information

• Name: 2-Cyclohexylbenzoic Acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Cyclohexylbenzoic acid is a chiral compound that belongs to the class of pharmaceutical preparations. It is used as an inhibitor of enzymes such as hydroxylase, which is involved in the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and has been shown to be effective in treating bowel disease. 2-Cyclohexylbenzoic acid may also be effective in the treatment of chronic bronchitis and autoimmune diseases. 2-Cyclohexylbenzoic acid binds to the active site on certain enzymes, thereby inhibiting their function. This drug also has a strong inhibitory effect on inflammation and oxidative stress, which may be due to its ability to inhibit phospholipase A2 (PLA2), an enzyme that triggers inflammatory reactions by catalyzing the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids. The light exposure can cause photochemical damage to the skin by inducing oxidation or perox
