Product Information

• Name: 7-Nitrocoumarin
• Synonyms: 7-Nitro-chromen-2-one7-Nitro-coumarin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 7-Nitrocoumarin is an agent that inhibits the growth of protozoa by inhibiting enzyme activities, specifically those involved in glycolysis. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of surface proteins and functional assays. 7-Nitrocoumarin is also active against trophozoites in vitro. The compound has been shown to be nontoxic to mammalian cells, with a constant of 0.3 μM for inhibition of resazurin reduction. The mechanism of action for 7-nitrocoumarin is not well understood, but it may involve oxidation products such as nitro groups, which are indicated by the prefix '7-'.
