Description

2,4-Dichloro-±-methylbenzyl Alcohol is a metabolite of 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol (2,4-DCBA) and is used as an antifungal drug. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of fungi by blocking octanoyl and pentyl groups in the synthesis of fatty acids. The metabolites are formed from 2,4-DCBA when it is activated by cytochrome P450 enzymes or monooxygenase. This compound also has a B1 chiral center that can exist in two forms: erythro and threo. The enantiomers have different effects on certain organisms.
