Description

4-Methylpentanoic acid is a fatty acid that is the product of anaerobic fermentation in the colon and can be found as an end product in the body. It can be used as a substrate in film tests for detecting bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which are associated with bowel diseases. 4-Methylpentanoic acid has been shown to have inhibitory effects against nuclear dna replication, mitochondrial membrane potential, and energy metabolism. 4-Methylpentanoic acid also has antiinflammatory properties and has been shown to decrease body mass index. The 6-Fluoro-3-indoxyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is an antituberculosis drug that belongs to the class of rifamycins. It is the most active of the rifamycins for the treatment of tuberculosis. Rifapentine inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription
