908074-72-6

Compound 115-7c (908074-72-6) acts as an artificial co-chaperone for HSP70.1?The activity of compound 115-7c mirrors those of HSP40 stimulating the ATPase and protein-folding activities of prokaryotic HSP70. Increases tau levels in cell lines overexpressing tau.2?Induces solubilization of polyglutamine and exacerbates polyQ-mediated toxicity.3,4?Compound 115-7c is an important probe for understanding HSP70 functions.4

ChEBI: 4-[6-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenylmethoxycarbonyl-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-3-yl]butanoic acid is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol.
