1-Dodecylimidazole (Standard)

1-Dodecylimidazole (Standard) is the analytical standard of 1-Dodecylimidazole. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 1-Dodecylimidazole (N-Dodecylimidazole) is a lysosomotropic detergent and a cytotoxic agent. 1-Dodecylimidazole causes cell death by its acid-dependent accumulation in lysosomes, disruption of the lysosomal membrane, and releaseof cysteine proteases into the cytoplasm. 1-Dodecylimidazole has hypocholesterolaemic activity and broad-spectrum antifungal activity[1][2][3].
