Description

Hydrindantin hydrate is a reactive nitrogenous compound. It has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. The nature of the compound is unknown, but it is thought to be an antibiotic. Hydrindantin hydrate has been found to inhibit the growth of bacteria when used in high concentrations. This property is due to its ability to bind with the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (an enzyme that converts ribonucleotides into deoxyribonucleotides), which prevents DNA synthesis and replication. Hydrindantin hydrate also exhibits antibacterial properties against foot-and-mouth disease virus, a virus that infects livestock causing illness and death in cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats.
