General description

meta-Phosphoric acid is a polymer form of phosphoric acid. It is used as a catalyst as well as a reactant in chemical synthesis.

Application

meta-Phosphoric acid can be used as:      
  • A catalyst in combination with InCl3 to synthesize 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene derivatives by the reaction of cyclic β-diketones and aldehydes.      
  • A phosphate precursor to synthesize antimony phosphate (SbPO4) by reacting with antimony metal at high temperatures.

Cardiomyopathies can result from mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins including MYBPC3, which encodes cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C). However, whether oxidative stress is augmented due to contractile dysfunction and cardiomyocyte damage in MYBPC3-mutated cardiomyopathies has not been elucidated. To

Aging promotes accumulation of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) in cardiomyocytes, which leads to contractile dysfunction and cardiac abnormalities. These changes may contribute to increased cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Inducible antioxidant pathways are regulated by nuclear erythroid 2 p45-related factor

Glutathione is an important antioxidant that regulates cellular redox status and is disordered in many disease states. Glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2) is a glutathione-dependent oxidoreductase that plays a pivotal role in redox control by catalyzing reversible protein deglutathionylation. As oxidized glutathione
