Description

2-Aminophenol is a water soluble redox catalyst that is used in wastewater treatment. It has been shown to be a potent antimicrobial agent against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. 2-Aminophenol is active against the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. The mechanism of the reaction of 2-aminophenol with picolinic acid is believed to be due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding between nitrogen atoms (N) and amines (NH). The binding site for this reaction is not well understood, but it may involve an electrochemical mechanism such as constant pressure or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. 2-Aminophenol also participates in electron transfer reactions involving NAD+/NADH or cytochrome c/cytochrome c oxidase.
