Description

Benzoic acid hydrazide is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to the active site of benzoyl-coenzyme A reductase, which is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of benzoate from benzoate semialdehyde. The optimum concentration for this compound is 1 mM. Benzoic acid hydrazide has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth in biological studies and x-ray crystal structures have been determined for this molecule. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria that are resistant to other types of antibiotics, such as ampicillin, erythromycin, and tetracycline. The mechanism of action for benzoic acid hydrazide appears to be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonding interactions with inhibitor molecules.
