Beschreibung

Dodecanoic acid is a fatty acid that has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the active site of the enzyme dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase, which catalyzes the conversion of dihydrolipoamide and acetyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA and acetoacetyl-CoA. Dodecanoic acid also binds to dinucleotide phosphate, which is involved in regulation of phase transition temperature and biological samples. Dodecanoic acid has also been shown to act as an active inhibitor of fatty acid synthase, an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). This process is essential for bacterial growth. Dodecanoic acid has synergistic effects with other antibiotics such as ampicillin, erythromycin, and tetracycline.
