Informazioni sul prodotto

• Nome: 2-[(1-Carboxyethyl)amino]propanoic acid

Descrizione

2-[(1-Carboxyethyl)amino]propanoic acid (CEPA) is a cell lysing agent that can be used to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses. CEPA has antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including MRSA, VRE, and Candida. CEPA has been shown to have chronic pulmonary effects in mice by inhibiting the growth of lung tissue cells. It also inhibits the growth of metastable tumor cells in mice. CEPA binds to the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls and causes cell lysis by disrupting hydrogen bonding interactions between water molecules and CEPA's carboxyl group. CEPA is a member of group P2 in the CID database with a chemical stability in water vapor greater than 90%. CEPA is soluble in metoprolol succinate at pH 5-6 but insoluble at pH 8 or higher due to the formation of hydrogen tartrate crystals.
