Descripción

4-Methyl-3-nitrobenzonitrile is a potent antibacterial agent that belongs to the group of nitro compounds. It has been shown to be effective against gram negative bacteria at low concentrations. 4-Methyl-3-nitrobenzonitrile inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme nitroreductase, which is responsible for the conversion of nitrite ions to nitric oxide. This leads to a decrease in the production of toxic oxygen radicals, which are responsible for cell damage and death. 4-Methyl-3-nitrobenzonitrile has also been shown to have a linker length dependent antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa, with longer linkers being more active than shorter linkers.
