Product Information
- 5-Quinolinamine, 6-methyl-
6-Methyl-5-quinolinamine (6MQ) is a cationic quinolone antibacterial that inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. 6MQ binds to the DNA gyrase enzyme and prevents it from unwinding the double helix, which prevents transcription and replication. The quinoline ring in this compound also contains an amine group, which is important for its antibacterial activity. 6MQ forms hydrogen bonds with the carboxylic acid groups on the surface of bacterial cells, leading to cell death.
6MQ can be synthesized by reacting malonate with fluorine gas in order to form an intermediate molecule, which reacts with ammonia and methyl iodide in order to form a quinoline ring.
