Product Information

• Name: 2-chloro-n-(4-chlorophenyl)acetamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Chloro-N-(4-chlorophenyl)acetamide (2CPA) is an antimycobacterial agent that inhibits the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The antimycobacterial activity of 2CPA has been demonstrated in a dilution method, where it reduced the number of viable cells in cultures of M. tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis. The antimicrobial activity of 2CPA was confirmed using a fluorescence assay, which showed that this compound is active against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and M. smegmatis at concentrations above 0.1 mM. 2CPA also has a potent bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC value of 0.06 mg/mL at 30 minutes and is active against Enterococcus faecalis with an MIC value of 4 mg/mL at 30 minutes.
