Product Information

• Name: 4-Methylsalicylamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methylsalicylamide is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of isonicotinic amides. It is a potent anti-inflammatory agent with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 4 µg/mL for gram-positive bacteria and 8 µg/mL for gram-negative bacteria. This compound has been shown to be effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium perfringens, although is not active against acid-fast bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium avium complex. 4-Methylsalicylamide has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on ring-opening, which may be due to its ability to acetylate mitochondrial membranes, altering the membrane potential. The molecular modeling studies also showed that 4MSAM binds at the same site as antibiotics such as penicillin and erythromycin in bacterial ribos
