Description

9-Hydroxyfluorene is a chiral compound that exhibits antimicrobial activity. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by interacting with bacterial DNA and preventing RNA synthesis. 9-Hydroxyfluorene binds to bacterial DNA, specifically the nitrogen atoms, which are not present in mammalian DNA. This binding causes the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds that inhibits bacterial DNA replication. 9-Hydroxyfluorene also interacts with cellular membranes, inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division. The antimicrobial properties of 9-hydroxyfluorene are due to its ability to bind to bacterial membranes and form hydrogen bonds at specific sites on the membrane surface. This binding alters the membrane's physical properties, leading to cell death.
