Description

(R)-(-)-2-Amino-1-butanol is an organic compound that is used as a reagent in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. It has antimycobacterial properties and can be used to treat tuberculosis. The mechanism for its antimycobacterial activity is not fully understood, but it may involve copper complex formation with the mycobacteria. The chloride ion may also play a role in this process by binding to the copper complex and increasing its solubility in water. This compound may react with aminothiols from the host cell, leading to degradation of DNA, RNA, and proteins. (R)-(-)-2-Amino-1-butanol has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on colorectal adenocarcinoma cells and human lung cancer cells in culture. It also inhibits human colon carcinoma cells in culture through the production of organic acids such as formic acid and acetic acid.
