    Product Description

    4-(2,2,3-Trimethylcyclopentyl)butanoic acid is an orthosteric, insurmountable antagonist of the human bitter taste receptors hTAS2R31 and hTAS2R43.1 It prevents the activation of hTAS2R31 by saccharin and acesulfame K in cells with IC50 values of 7.9 and 2.4 µM, respectively.1 In human sensory trials, 4-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopentyl)butanoic acid significantly reduced the bitter flavor associated with these two artificial sweeteners.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
