• CAS: 88404-22-2
• Catalog Number: ACM88404222
• Category: Amino Acids
• Molecular Weight: 877
• Molecular Formula: C20H19I4NO6
• Description: Boc-T4 is a synthetic prodrug of thyroxine, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and other physiological processes. Boc-T4 is designed to be a prodrug that can be activated by enzymes in the body to release thyroxine slowly over a prolonged period. This approach can reduce the dosage frequency and provide a more sustained release of the hormone.
