Ajacine is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of pyrrolopyrimidinediones, which are known for their antifungal properties. It is a potent inhibitor of squalene epoxidase, an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. By inhibiting this enzyme, ajacine disrupts the production of ergosterol, leading to the accumulation of squalene and the subsequent disruption of the fungal cell membrane, ultimately resulting in the death of the fungus. This mechanism of action makes ajacine a valuable agent in the fight against fungal infections, particularly those caused by pathogenic yeasts and molds.
The CAS Registry Mumber 509-17-1 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,0 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 509-17: (5*5)+(4*0)+(3*9)+(2*1)+(1*7)=61 61 % 10 = 1 So 509-17-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
