Product Description: Hexacyclen (Cycloalkene) is an organic compound with a unique macrocyclic structure composed of six nitrogen-containing rings. Hexacyclen is commonly used as a chelating agent in chemistry and biochemistry due to its ability to bind metal ions, and is often used to selectively bind metal ions in proteins or enzymes to study their structure and function. Hexacyclen also acts as an inhibitor of cancer[1].
