Description

Methyl 4-chlorophenylacetate is an antibacterial agent that belongs to the group of decarboxylated compounds. It has been synthesised and chiral, with a pyruvic acid moiety. Methyl 4-chlorophenylacetate is bactericidal against Pyricularia oryzae and other microorganisms in vitro. It has also been shown to inhibit histamine H1 receptors in rats. The molecular modelling study showed that methyl 4-chlorophenylacetate forms hydrogen bonds with the bacterial cell membrane, which may lead to the formation of pores in the membrane, resulting in cell death.
