Description

5-Bromonicotinohydrazide is an antibacterial agent that has been shown to have activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This compound crystallizes as a white powder in the form of needles, with a melting point of 190°C. The molecular weight is 188.2 g/mol, and the chemical formula is C6H3BrN0H. It also has antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. 5-Bromonicotinohydrazide is used for the treatment of infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. 5-Bromonicotinohydrazide inhibits cell wall synthesis in bacterial cells by binding to the enzyme penicillin amidase, which causes hydrolysis of peptidoglycan precursors into amino acids and monomers, resulting in cell death. This process also prevents the formation of cross-links between peptidoglycan chains, which are necessary for
