Product Information

• Name: 5-Bromovanillin
• Synonyms: 3-Bromo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Bromovanillin is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to the enzyme vanillin. It is used as a natural compound, in which it can be found in plants and fruits such as Eugenia caryophyllata and Vanilla planifolia. 5-Bromovanillin has been shown to have a potent inhibitory effect on bacterial growth. The inhibitory effect of this compound is due to its ability to coordinate with the vanillin molecule, forming a complex that blocks the reaction mechanism of the enzyme. This complex also reacts with p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which disrupts the cell membrane and causes leakage of cellular contents. 5-Bromovanillin has been studied using surface methodology and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). These studies demonstrated that 5-bromovanillin has a high affinity for methanol solvent and inhibitor molecules, which may contribute to its antimicrobial activity.
