Description

Bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BETT) is a chemical compound that has been used for the synthesis of other molecules. BETT is a nucleophilic reagent that can act as an electron donor and acceptor. The compound is also chemically stable, with a redox potential of -0.25 V, which means it can be reduced by electron donors. BETT has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth, with the inhibition being due to DNA damage. This may be because BETT reacts with the hydroxy group on the bacterial enzyme ribonucleotide reductase and alters its conformation. BETT has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in rats when given orally.
