Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-4-iodopyridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-4-iodopyridine is a coordination compound that inhibits bacterial enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). It is also an inhibitor of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other bacteria. 2-Bromo-4-iodopyridine binds to the active site of COMT, which is located in the bacterial cell wall, and prevents methylamine from binding to the enzyme. This prevents methylation of the catechol ring, which is required for bacterial growth. 2-Bromo-4-iodopyridine has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans.
