Informação sobre produto

• Nome: Bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ol
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: Bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ol is an antiplasmodial agent that is used to treat malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax. It binds to the parasite's heme, preventing its conversion of heme to protoporphyrin IX and blocking the synthesis of ATP, leading to cell death. Bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ol has also been shown to be effective against multiresistant strains of plasmodium and has a low toxicity in humans. This substance can be synthesized by epimerization of 2-(bromomethyl)cyclohexanol with maleic anhydride or 2-benzoylcyclohexanol with benzoic acid. The yields from these reactions are low, but the product can be easily tracked due to its distinctive chemical properties (e.g., high boiling point
