Description

1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid is an antibacterial agent that has a molecular structure of a hydrazone. It inhibits the synthesis of bacterial DNA and protein by binding to the enzyme nitroso reductase. The antibacterial activity of 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid is enhanced in the presence of chloride ions and nitrite ions, which are produced as byproducts during fermentation. The reaction with hydrochloric acid (HCl) leads to the formation of an azomethine compound, which is unstable and may react with other molecules in its vicinity. This can lead to a blue coloration in solution due to formation of the azomethine dye molecule.
