Product Information

• Name: 3-Methylquinoline
• Synonyms: NSC 109149
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Methylquinoline is a quinoline derivative that is activated by light. 3-Methylquinoline has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacterial strains such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It also has photophysical properties that are well suited for use in biological assays, such as the introduction of a residue during chemical reactions. 3-Methylquinoline inhibits the synthesis of DNA by binding to the enzyme DNA gyrase. The drug has been shown to be effective against molybdenum cofactor-deficient bacteria, including Covid-19 pandemic strains and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). 3-Methylquinoline also has activity against microbial metabolism, with linear ranges from 0.3 - 10 μM and an IC50 value of 2 μM.
