Description

2-Formylphenoxyacetic acid (FPAA) is a molecule that belongs to the group of p2 molecules. It has been detected in urine samples and can be used as a marker for urinary tract infections. FPAA is an electrochemical detector for copper complexes and has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus, amines, and carboxylates. The mechanism of its antimicrobial activity may involve hydrogen bonding interactions with the negatively charged groups on the cell wall of bacteria. Chemical structures and structural analysis have shown that FPAA contains two aldehyde groups linked by an ether bond.
