Product Information

• Name: Bis(4-Nitrophenyl)phosphoric acid sodium
• Synonyms: Bis(4-Nitrophenyl)phosphate sodium salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphoric acid sodium is a synthetic compound that has been used as an antibiotic. It is a nitro group donor and may be oxidized to p-nitrophenol phosphate. Bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphoric acid sodium inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, which prevents protein synthesis and cell division. The rate constant of this reaction has been determined using x-ray diffraction data obtained on crystals of the product with signal peptide. Bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphoric acid sodium also has biochemical properties, such as pyrazinoic acid formation and polymerase chain reactions, which have been reported in recombinant cytochrome P450s from rat liver microsomes. The disulfide bond coordination geometry and mechanism of the reaction are still unknown but it is thought that the reaction proceeds through a single electron transfer mechanism.
