Product Information
Name:4-Butoxybenzyl alcohol
Brand:Biosynth
Description:4-Butoxybenzyl alcohol is a primary alcohol that is used as a solvent and reagent. It has been shown to disrupt the architecture of bacterial cell walls by destabilizing the molybdenum cofactor, which is essential for the enzyme xylose reductase. The destabilization of this cofactor leads to inhibition of cell wall synthesis and subsequent death of bacteria. 4-Butoxybenzyl alcohol also has antibacterial properties and can be used to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. This compound may also act by inhibiting amide formation or by binding to magnesium, aluminium, or amides in the bacterial cell wall.
