Product Information

• Name: 2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dimethanol
• Synonyms: 2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,4-dioxane-2,5-diol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dimethanol is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. It can be used as an anti-infective agent and has shown to be effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. 2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dimethanol has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by reversibly covalently binding to the fatty acid chain of bacterial cell membranes. This binding prevents the transfer of fatty acids from the lipids in the membrane to other parts of the cell or outside of the cell. The chemical structure of 2,5-Dihydroxyloxy 1,4 dioxane 2,5 dimethanol includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid (-COOH). The carboxylic acid group is polar while the
