Beschreibung

3-Formylphenoxyacetic acid is an antibacterial drug that has a high specificity for staphylococcus. This compound is used as a reference compound in the analytical method to measure the antibacterial activity of other compounds. 3-Formylphenoxyacetic acid inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase and blocking DNA synthesis. It also reacts with formazans, which are redox indicators that are formed when bacteria are metabolized by aerobic conditions. The presence of these formazans can be detected using a simple colorimetric assay on tissues or bovine serum. 3-Formylphenoxyacetic acid is not active against methicillin-resistant staphylococci, but it works well against heterologous strains such as Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
