Product Information

• Name: Allyl phenyl ether
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Allyl phenyl ether is a phenyl ether that inhibits the enzyme enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR), which is involved in fatty acid synthesis. It can be used as an antimicrobial agent and has been shown to inhibit the growth of several bacteria. Allyl phenyl ether also inhibits the oxidation of dimethyl fumarate, an antioxidant that is used for treatment of multiple sclerosis. A kinetic study on allyl phenyl ether has shown that it binds to the active site of ENR by hydrogen bonding with nitrogen atoms and hydroxide groups. This binding causes a rotation around the double bond, leading to its inhibition by trapping the acyl group in a transition state intermediate.
