Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Masoprocol tetrapivalate is an ester form of nordihydroguaiaretic acid with anti-neoplastic activity. Masoprocol, also known as, meso-NDGA; meso-Nordihydroguaiaretic acid, CHX100; is a potent lipoxygenase inhibitor that interferes with arachidonic acid metabolism. The compound also inhibits formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, carboxylesterase, and cyclooxygenase to a lesser extent. It also serves as an antioxidant in fats and oils.
