Order number: 79831-76-8
Part number: AC100051811
Castanospermine is noted for its consistent composition and reliable behavior as an alkaloid with the molecular formula C8H15NO4 and a molecular weight of 189.21. Its structure is unique within the alkaloid class due to its specific arrangement of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. Handling requires standard precautions for organic compounds, including Castanospermine has been found to exhibit inhibitory activity against certain enzymes, particularly glucan synthase, making it a subject of interest in research related to carbohydrate metabolism.
