Produktinformation

• Name: 3-(Benzyloxy)-5-nitrobenzoic acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 3-(Benzyloxy)-5-nitrobenzoic acid is a benzimidazole derivative that is synthesized in three steps. It can be formed by reacting potassium chloride, formic acid and 3-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid. The reaction yields are dependent on the concentration of the reactants. The isomeric mixture can be separated by distillation into two fractions; one fraction contains the desired product and the other fraction contains the undesired product. This compound has been shown to have antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as antifungal activity against Candida albicans. 3-(Benzyloxy)-5-nitrobenzoic acid binds to ribosomes of bacteria, inhibiting protein synthesis by preventing peptide bond formation between amino acids. This compound also reacts with sulfate ion to produce sulfate ester, which inhibits bacterial growth by disrupting membrane integrity.
