• Description: 2,6-Dimethyl-2,5-heptadien-4-one is an organic compound that belongs to a class of compounds called reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is produced by the oxidation of 2,6-dimethyl-2,5-heptadienoic acid. ROS are formed in the mitochondria and have been shown to be involved in many cellular processes including mitochondrial function. ROS can induce oxidative stress leading to cell death. This compound has been shown to enhance the antibacterial efficacy of other antibiotics such as gentamycin and vancomycin. The mechanism of action is not fully understood but appears to involve intracellular glutathione depletion and damage to mitochondrial membrane potential.
