Description

4-Methyl Sterol Demethylase is a specialized enzyme inhibitor that targets the sterol demethylase pathway, a critical component in sterol biosynthesis. This compound is essential for research and development in the fields of biochemistry, pharmacology, and agrochemical science, where precise control of sterol metabolism is required. It serves as a valuable tool for scientists and manufacturers in pharmaceutical R&D, agricultural chemical formulation, and advanced biochemical studies.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a specific inhibitor to study the sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) enzyme pathway in fungi, plants, and mammals.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigated for its potential in developing novel antifungal and antiparasitic agents by disrupting ergosterol or cholesterol synthesis.
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a reference compound in the development of new fungicides and plant growth regulators.
• Enzyme Kinetics Studies: Employed in vitro assays to determine inhibition constants and elucidate the mechanism of action of sterol biosynthesis inhibitors.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: A key reagent for probing and validating sterol metabolic networks in genetic and proteomic research.

Quality Control

Our 4-Methyl Sterol Demethylase is produced under strict quality control protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research applications. Quality is verified through analytical techniques including HPLC and spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other relevant parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere.
