Product Information

• Name: 5-Nitrothiophene-2-carboxaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Nitrothiophene-2-carboxaldehyde (5NT) is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of dihedral molecules. It is commonly used as an antimicrobial agent and has been shown to have amoebicidal activity in tissue culture. 5NT also inhibits cell growth and proliferation in certain bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus strains, by interfering with DNA replication and protein synthesis. Although 5NT is not active against other types of bacteria, it has been shown to be effective against MRSA in laboratory studies. The biological properties of 5NT are still being studied.
