    Product Description

    2-methyl-4'-(methylthio)-2-Morpholinopropiophenone (MMMP; Item No. 21651) is an analytical reference standard that is structurally characterized as a substituted cathinone. It is a photoinitiator that almost instantaneously generates free radicals to induce polymerization in the production of UV curable inks, to speed drying during printing, and in colored coatings.1 MMMP is toxic to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro (250 µg/ml) through a caspase 3/7-dependent mechanism.2 This product is intended for research and forensic applications.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
