Chemical Name: 2-Acetyl-4-tetrahydroxybutyl Imidazole. Alternate Names: 1-[5-[(1R,2S,3R)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybutyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-ethanone
Immunomodulator (S1P lyase inhibition)
Molecular Weight:
230.22
Purity:
98% by TLC, NMR (Conforms)
Form:
White solid
CAS Number:
[94944-70-4]
Formula:
C9H14N2O5
Application Notes:
THI was identified as a biologically active impurity in caramel food coloring.1 It is a potent inhibitor of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase.2 It disrupts lymphocyte egress from lymphoid tissue by interfering with S1P gradients.3,4 The novel immunomodulatory activity of THI and its biochemical mechanism may represent a new target for the development of new generation of immunosuppressants.5
