• Description: 8-Chloro-1-octanol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl group at the 8th position of the octane ring. It has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth in vitro by binding to fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes and preventing the formation of fatty acids, which are vital for bacterial cell wall synthesis. The 8-chloro-1-octanol also inhibits the population growth of bacteria in corneal epithelium, leading to reduced biofilm formation. This compound has been shown to have regulatory effects on microbial populations. 8-Chloro-1-octanol is currently under study for its potential use as a topical antibacterial agent for treating corneal infections.
