Description

2-Chloro-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide is an antibacterial agent that binds to the bacterial ribosome and prevents protein synthesis. 2-Chloro-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide has been shown to be active against both Gram positive and negative bacteria, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The mechanism of action for 2-chloro-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide is not well understood, but it may involve binding to the ribosomal RNA in the bacterial cell. This binding blocks the formation of an antibiotic-ribosome complex that is required for translation of mRNA into protein.
