Description

2-Methylbut-2-enal is an aldehyde that belongs to the class of fatty acid. It has been shown that 2-methylbut-2-enal inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to the anhydrous sodium and tiglic acid in the bacterial cell wall. This binding prevents the formation of an antibiotic-inhibitor complex with the enzyme cell wall synthesis that is required for cell wall biosynthesis, inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division. 2-Methylbut-2-enal also inhibits locomotor activity in mice, which may be due to its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase.
