Application

Tetrahexylammonium bromide can be used:
  • As a hydrogen bond acceptor in the preparation of deep eutectic solvents which can be used for desulfurization and denitrogenation from n-heptane.
  • To produce aqueous biphasic system for the heavy metal ions preconcentration.
  • As a phase transfer salt to fabricate an optical chemical gas-sensor.

In this study we show that the potassium-channel blocker tetrahexyl ammonium chloride (THA+) is able to inhibit inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced calcium release in an apparently biphasic fashion with a IC50 of 3 microM. This inhibition was not alleviated by valinomycin
