• Description: 4-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde is a molecule with an aldehyde group and a benzyl alcohol group. It is the most active inhibitor of Candida glabrata among the compounds tested. 4-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde has been shown to inhibit Candida glabrata, Propionibacterium acnes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This compound also inhibits hydrogen chloride production by Candida glabrata in vitro. 4-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde inhibits Candida glabrata by binding to the enzyme hydrogenase at the alpha-subunit's active site to prevent its function.4-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde has been found to be more potent than benzoic acid in inhibiting candida growth, although less potent than gentamicin or erythromycin.
