Product Information
2-(Ethoxycarbonyl)butanoic acid is a solvate of ethoxycarbonyl butanoic acid. It is a weak antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. This active form is metabolized through a number of metabolic transformations, including hydrolysis by esterases or glucuronidases, oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes, reduction by glutathione reductase, or conjugation with glucuronic acid. 2-(Ethoxycarbonyl)butanoic acid has been shown to be effective in the treatment of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. It is also used as an antifungal agent against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. 2-(Ethoxycarbonyl)butanoic acid binds to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and prevents transcription and replication, which leads to cell death in susceptible bacteria.
