General description

(±)-Epichlorohydrin is an organochlorine compound, used in the manufacturing of epoxy resins, plasticizers, dye stuffs, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, adhesives and oil emulsification products.

Application


  • Pitfalls in the synthesis of fluorescent methotrexate oligopeptide conjugates.: Addresses challenges in synthesizing fluorescent methotrexate conjugates using Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, aiming to optimize peptide-based drug delivery systems (Sebestyén et al., 2016).

  • Fluoreometric behavior of a novel bis-acridine orange bound to double stranded DNA.: Explores the fluorescent properties of a bis-acridine compound integrated with Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH for potential applications in DNA interaction studies (Takenaka et al., 2003).

  • Bis-naphthalene diimide exhibiting an effective bis-threading intercalating ability.: Investigates a bis-naphthalene diimide derivative, facilitated by Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, demonstrating significant DNA intercalation, useful for gene therapy and molecular biology research (Nojima et al., 2003).

  • Novel synthesis of a tetra-acridinyl peptide as a new DNA polyintercalator.: Details the synthesis of a new DNA polyintercalator using Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, highlighting its potential to enhance molecular diagnostics and therapeutic strategies (Ueyama et al., 2000).
