Category: Aliphatics, Isotope Labelled Compounds, Neurochemicals /// Appearance: Yellow Oil to Yellow Semi-Solid /// Application Notes: Labelled 2,3-Butanedione (B690030). 2,3-Butanedione (Diacetyl), the molecule implicated in the disease known as popcorn lung, has now been implicated in amyloid-beta peptide toxicity associated with Alzheimer's disease. Diacetyl accelerates amyloid-beta aggregation-a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. These preliminary finding raise the possibility of long-term neurological toxicity mediated by DA. /// References: Wang, J., et al.: Exp.
