Beschreibung

2-Methoxyphenylacetonitrile is a chemical that is used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. It has antibacterial activity and can be used to treat typhoid fever, staphylococcal infections, and mental disorders such as schizophrenia. 2-Methoxyphenylacetonitrile is an alkylating agent that reacts with nucleophiles in proteins, DNA, and RNA. These reactions lead to the destruction of the bacterial cell wall and inhibition of protein synthesis. The mechanism by which 2-methoxyphenylacetonitrile exerts its antibacterial effect may involve formation of a reactive intermediate that inhibits bacterial ribonucleotide reductase. The addition of an electron to this intermediate leads to the formation of a covalent bond with one or more amino acids in the protein acceptor, thereby preventing further growth and division of bacteria.
