Dimethyl 3,4,5,6-Tetrafluorophthalate

Ref. 3D-FD83376

Product Information

• Name: Dimethyl 3,4,5,6-Tetrafluorophthalate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dimethyl 3,4,5,6-Tetrafluorophthalate is an antibacterial agent that belongs to the group of dialkylamino quinoline derivatives. It has a hydrocarbon group with 4 carbon atoms and a hydroxyl group. This active form binds to metal ions and forms ruthenium complexes that are effective against bacteria. Dimethyl 3,4,5,6-Tetrafluorophthalate inhibits growth of bacteria by binding to choline in the cell membrane and blocking the production of formyl-methionine. In addition, it reduces the activity of formyl-methionine synthetase by forming a complex with metal ions. Dimethyl 3,4,5,6-Tetrafluorophthalate also inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by interfering with the ribosome's ability to read mRNA.
