Product Information

• Name: 6-Amino-1,4-benzodioxane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Amino-1,4-benzodioxane (6ABD) is a chromophore with significant interactions that can be used to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It has been shown to have antimycobacterial activity and to inhibit the synthesis of DNA and protein in cancer cells. 6ABD is also an electrophile that reacts with nucleophiles such as sodium carbonate and proton, which leads to bacterial cell death. The mechanism of this reaction is not well understood but it has been hypothesized that it may lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species or free radicals. The reaction mechanism was studied using crystallography and found that 6ABD reacts with two molecules of water in order to form a hydroxyl radical. This hydroxyl radical then reacts with another molecule of water, forming hydrogen peroxide and a second hydroxyl radical. Hydrogen peroxide then reacts with a third molecule of water, leading to the production of superoxide an
