Description

6-Aminonicotinic acid is an inhibitor of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of a number of bacteria, including E. coli K-12, with potent inhibitory activity against these enzymes. 6-Aminonicotinic acid binds to the active sites on these enzymes and prevents them from working. The detection time for 6-aminonicotinic acid is about 3 hours after exposure. 6-Aminonicotinic acid has been shown to be more potent than other inhibitors of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV such as 2,4-diaminopyrimidine (2,4DAP).
