rac-1-Stearoyl-3-chloropropanediol-d5 (CAS 1795785-84-0)

Rac-1-Stearoyl-3-chloropropanediol-d5 (RSCPD-d5) is a synthetic analogue of stearic acid, derived from the 3-chloropropanediol (3-CPD) compound family. Extensively utilized in scientific research, Rac-1-Stearoyl-3-chloropropanediol-d5 has found applications in various biochemical and physiological studies. In scientific research, Rac-1-Stearoyl-3-chloropropanediol-d5 has been employed as a substrate for prostaglandin production and as a model compound to investigate the impact of fatty acids on cell membranes. Furthermore, it has served as useful to explore the effects of fatty acids on the structure and function of enzymes and proteins. While the exact mechanism of action of Rac-1-Stearoyl-3-chloropropanediol-d5 remains incompletely understood, it is hypothesized to function as an inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. This enzyme plays a role in the synthesis of prostaglandins, hormones involved in diverse physiological processes, including inflammation and pain. By inhibiting cyclooxygenase activity, Rac-1-Stearoyl-3-chloropropanediol-d5 can effectively decrease prostaglandin production, resulting in the reduction of inflammation and pain.
