Product Description:
2,4- (2,4-DNP, or simply DNP) is an organic compound with the formula HOC6H3(NO2)2. It is a yellow, crystald that has a sweet, musty odor. It sublimes, is volatile with steam, and is soluble in most organic solvents as well as aqueous alkations.It is a precursor to other chemicals and is biochemically active, inhibiting energy (ATP) production in with mitochondria and was once used as a diet aid. 2,4- is produced by hydrolysis of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene.DNP by some bodybuilders and athletes to rapidly reduce body fat content. Although many people think that DNP is dangerous for the human body, which is itself an efficient action principle is still considered to be studied, in order to seek potential treatment of obesity drugs. At present, the research focuses on the human body naturally occurring uncoupling protein.
Applications:
2, 4- (2, 4-DNP, or simply DNP) is an organic compound with the formula HOC6H3(NO2)2. It is a yellow, crystald that has a sweet, musty odor. It sublimes, is volatile with steam, and is soluble in most organic solvents as well as aqueous alkations.
DNP was used extensively in diet pills from 1933 to 1938 after Cutting and Tainter at Stanford University made their first report on the drug's ability to greatly increase metabolic rate. DNP acts as a protonore, allowing protons to leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane and thus bypass ATP synthase. This makes ATP energy production less efficient. In effect, part of the energy that is normally produced from lar respiration is wasted as heat. The inefficiency is proportional to the dose of DNP that is taken. As the dose increases and energy production is made more inefficient, metabolic rate increases in order to compensate for the inefficiency and meet energy demands.
