Descripción

n-Heptyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is a preservative and antimicrobial agent that is used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food. It is primarily used to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. The mechanism by which heptyl 4-hydroxybenzoate inhibits the growth of microorganisms is not well understood. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, but not against Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Heptyl 4-hydroxybenzoate has been shown to have no effect on the growth of probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus.
The chemical structure of n-heptyl 4-hydroxybenzoate includes a glycol ether moiety and two parabens that are linked by hydrogen bonds. These bonds can be broken by enzymes found in rat liver microsomes, leading to the release of n-
