Description

2-Amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol is an antimicrobial agent with strong activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is a glycol ester that has been shown to bind to penicillin binding protein (PBP), which is an enzyme involved in cell wall synthesis. 2-Amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol inhibits the production of picolinic acid, which inhibits the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins in bacteria. 2-Amino-2-methyl 1,3 propanediol has also been shown to inhibit the production of α1 acid glycoprotein in human serum. The chemical structure of this compound resembles that of caproic acid, a fatty acid found in dairy products. This may be due to its strong antimicrobial activity against a number of microorganisms including Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium perfringens.
