Product Information

• Name: 1-Hydroxyphenazine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Hydroxyphenazine is an anti-fungal agent that inhibits the growth of opportunistic fungal pathogens. It has been shown to be effective in vitro against some bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but not against others such as Escherichia coli. 1-Hydroxyphenazine reacts with intracellular Ca2+ to activate the reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are cytotoxic to fungi and other microorganisms. The compound is a structural analog of phenazone, but has higher antimicrobial activity and lower toxicity. 1-Hydroxyphenazine also chelates metal ions and forms stable complexes with them. This property may contribute to its biological properties.
