• Synonyms: 1,2-ethanediol, 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-(4-Nitrophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol is a pheromone that is secreted by the female silkworm to attract males. It has been shown to have an interaction with candida parapsilosis, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cellular growth. 1-(4-Nitrophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol has also been shown to have a high yield when hydrated and isolated from c. parapsilosis cells. The intracellular levels of this compound are affected by cyclic voltammetry, which can be used as a preparative technique for this molecule.
