Produktinformation

• Name: 8-chloroquinoline
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 8-Chloroquinoline is an organochlorine compound that has anti-malarial, anti-parasitic, and anti-bacterial properties. It binds to the parasite's enzyme hemozoin synthase to inhibit the production of hemozoin. 8-Chloroquinoline also inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme DNA gyrase and prevents bacterial replication. The binding of 8-chloroquinoline to DNA gyrase inactivates it, thus preventing supercoiling of the bacterial DNA. This causes a structural change in the DNA helix that inhibits transcription and replication. 8-Chloroquinoline has been shown to be effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis with minimal toxicity for liver cells.
