Product Information

• Name: 2-Methylquinolin-3-ol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methylquinolin-3-ol is a peroxide with the chemical formula C9H7O2. It has been shown to have antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, although it is less potent than sodium hypochlorite. 2-Methylquinolin-3-ol is most effective when in stoichiometric amounts of hydrogen peroxide. It has been shown to be more efficient in the presence of glycols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, which increase its rate of reaction. The mechanism for 2-methylquinolin-3-ol's antibacterial activity is thought to be due to oxidation of bacterial cell membranes. This chemical compound reacts with the cell membrane and causes lipid peroxidation, leading to the death of the bacteria by leakage of cellular contents. 2Mqo also absorbs ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, forming an excited state that can undergo photochemical reactions with oxygen or other molecules in its environment,
