• Synonyms: 2-Methyl-p-anisaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde (4MMBA) is a synthetic chemical that is used as an antifungal agent. It interacts with the cellular membranes of fungi and disrupts their ability to maintain homeostasis. 4MMBA inhibits the growth of invasive aspergillosis by inhibiting protein synthesis, which leads to cell death. The mechanism of action for 4MMBA is not well understood, but it has been shown to inhibit the growth of fungi in a model system. It also inhibits the production of pyrylium, which may be responsible for its activity against fungi.
