2-Chloroethyl acetate (CEA) is a bifunctional chemical that can be used as a pharmaceutical agent and an industrial solvent. It is used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria, including MRSA. CEA acts by inhibiting the efflux pump, which pumps toxins out of bacterial cells. The chlorine in CEA reacts with chloride ions to form hypochlorous acid, which kills bacteria by oxidizing their DNA. CEA also has a redox potential that is similar to that of glutathione, which makes it resistant to degradation by glutathione reductase.
