4,4-Difluorocyclohexanamine Hydrochloride by Molecular Depot is a 4,4-difluorocyclohexanamine hydrochloride, an inhibitor of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1. Replacing a ring methylene with a gem-difluoro group blocks metabolism at that position and changes the electron distribution of the ring without adding much bulk, which is why the motif is common in drug candidates. It is used in medicinal chemistry synthesis, as a fluorinated amine building block and in 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase research. Each unit contains 50 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
