Synonym(s): HGC
CAS No.: 6028-00-8
Application: Useful for solubilization of macromolecule, such as cholesterol, used in cell culture applications. Similar to β cyclodextrin, but able to solubilize larger molecules.
Other Notes: Non-toxic solubilizer. γ-Cyclodextrin (8-glucose units) has a slightly larger cavity and can accommodate larger substrates than β-cyclodextrin.
Packaging: 1 g in glass bottle
Biochem/physiol Actions: Harmalol, a harmala (β-carboline) alkaloid, is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOi) useful for studies involving melanogenesis. Harmalol is use in β-carboline nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) binding studies.
Empirical Formula (Hill Notation): C20H36O2
