Application

Isobutyramide was used for chemical grafting of human serum albumin during the synthesis of sequentialy assembled protein capsules.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Isobutyramide activates transcription of human gamma-globin gene and murine embryonic epsilon(y)-globin gene. It is useful in the treatment of β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease.
