Description

3,5-Diiodo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (3,5 DIBA) is an aminotriazole that inhibits the growth of a wide range of bacteria. 3,5 DIBA inhibits the transport of catechol and 2,6-dichlorobenzoic acid into cells. This inhibition leads to decreased levels of catechol-O-methyltransferase activity and increased levels of lysine decarboxylase activity. The combination of these two reactions causes a decrease in lysine production. Lysine is important for cell division and protein synthesis in bacteria. 3,5 DIBA also inhibits root formation in plants and has been shown to inhibit the uptake of nutrients by plant roots.

Dibenzoylmethane; 1,2-Benzenediamine, 3-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)imino]-, diiodide;
