The Advantages Of Glyoxal

Glyoxal can be easily polymerized into white resinous solid due to its active chemical property.It is nonvolatile and is easily biodegradable. Commercially glyoxal is available as a 40% aqueous solution.Glyoxal is known to react with amino acids like lysine, arginine and guanine forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This leads to inactivation of enzymes, disturbance in the cellular metabolism, impaired proteolysis, inhibition of cell proliferation and protein synthesis.
On ingestion it may cause nausea and vomitting. Long term chronic abuse has not been documented so far with glyoxal.As a skin irritant , it causes redness and itching of the skin when in contact.It has bactericidal properties similar to that of gluteraldehyde and therefore is often used as an adjunct of these agents.
Glyoxal attacks amino groups of proteins, nucleotides and lipids. It is known to react with amino acids like lysine, arginine and guanine forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This leads to inactivation of enzymes, disturbance in the cellular metabolism, impaired proteolysis, inhibition of cell proliferation and protein synthesis.If you want to know more about Glyoxal ,please feel free to visit our website-Guangshu Chemical Factory Co.
