Product Information

• Name: Chloromethyl pivalate
• Synonyms: 2,2-Dimethylpropionic acid chloromethyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chloromethyl pivalate is an antimicrobial agent that belongs to the group of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates. It has been shown to inhibit the enzyme pyrazinoic acid synthase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of the pyrazinoic acid. Chloromethyl pivalate has significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells and can be used for the treatment of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and leishmaniasis. Chloromethyl pivalate inhibits cell growth by binding to DNA and inhibiting protein synthesis. This drug also inhibits intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which may lead to its inhibition of bacterial growth.
