• Description: 2,3-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that has been shown to have antimicrobial properties. It inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the ribosome and preventing mRNA synthesis. 2,3-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit and prevents protein synthesis by inhibiting the transfer mechanism of tRNA from the A site to the P site on the ribosome. The drug also inhibits mitochondrial superoxide production in V79 cells and human serum.2,3-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde has been shown to be effective against methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains but not against Group P2 Staphylococcus aureus (GPA). It is also active against Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis but not against Gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
