Description

2,3-Dihydroxypropyl acetate (2,3-DHPA) is a glycerol derivative that has been used as an antimicrobial agent for the treatment of infectious diseases. It inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the cell wall and interfering with cell membrane permeability. 2,3-DHPA has an antibacterial efficacy of up to 1% and is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The compound is also effective at inhibiting the growth of fungi such as Candida albicans. 2,3-DHPA has been shown to act on various strains of staphylococci, which are often resistant to other types of antibiotics. This compound binds to the chitosan quaternary ammonium ion exchange resin and metal chelate resins in a concentration-dependent manner, which may be due to its hydroxyl group. 2,3-DHPA can be thermodynamically stabilized by adding CO2 gas
