Product Information

• Name: 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of antimicrobial agents. It has been shown to be effective in treating bowel diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one inhibits bacterial growth by disrupting the membrane structure and function of bacteria. The compound binds to bacterial cytochrome bd oxidase and prevents the electron transfer from cytochrome bd to oxygen, thereby preventing aerobic respiration. 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one also inhibits mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, leading to a build up of hydrogen peroxide and reactive oxygen species (ROS). This leads to cell death by oxidative stress. 6 Methyl 5 Heptene 2 One has been shown to inhibit the growth of many types of bacterial strains including those that cause infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.
