Homopiperazine-1,4-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (CAS 202185-84-0)

Homopiperazine-1,4-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid), a sulfonated diazepane derivative, finds extensive use in scientific research. This water-soluble organic compound holds broad applications in both biological and chemical investigations. Notably, it serves as a vital chemical reagent for synthesizing diverse compounds and acts as a buffering agent in aqueous solutions. In experiments involving plant cells at low pH, Homopiperazine-1,4-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid) is employed as a buffer. Moreover, Homopiperazine-N,N′-bis-[2-(ethanesulfonic acid)] acts as a nutrient that can be assimilated by plants to synthesize mevalonate, an essential process in abiotic and biotic environments for nutrient uptake. This nutrient is absorbed through the roots of plants and transported to the cytosol, where it undergoes conversion into mevalonate. It possesses an efflux transporter gene that regulates its exit from the cell, with the process occurring in the mitochondria and cytoplasmic membrane. Notably, Homopiperazine-N,N′-bis-[2-(ethanesulfonic acid)] can be utilized as a nutrient solution in hydroponics systems.
