Product Information

• Name: 2,6-Dichlorobenzamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,6-Dichlorobenzamide is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of organochlorine compounds. It is soluble in water and has been shown to be an effective treatment for metal contamination in groundwater. 2,6-Dichlorobenzamide reacts with metal ions at the surface of cells by forming an insoluble metal chloride complex that accumulates inside the cell and leads to cell death. 2,6-Dichlorobenzamide has been shown to be toxic to bacteria, particularly gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. This compound also binds to bacterial membrane lipids with high affinity constants. This activity may be due to its ability to form lipid hydroperoxides and free radicals.
