Adipic acid monoethyl ester is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria. It is used in various commercial preparations such as pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and food additives. Adipic acid monoethyl ester has been shown to have a strong inhibitory effect on enzymes that are important for the metabolism of glucose. These enzymes include glycol-ester hydrolases, which catalyze reactions that produce fatty acids from glycerol and fatty acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) by hydrolysis. Adipic acid monoethyl ester also inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of polysaccharides and proteins. The reaction mechanism for adipic acid monoethyl ester involves formation of a covalent bond with a nucleophilic atom on an enzyme molecule and formation of an intermediate that reacts with water to form a reactive free radical. This free radical attacks other molecules in the enzyme's vicinity, leading to breakdown or deactivation of
