Product Information

• Name: Piperazine-2-carboxylic acid dihydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Piperazine-2-carboxylic acid dihydrochloride (PZC) is an aminopyrimidine antibiotic that binds to the amine groups of plasma proteins and hydroxyapatite. It has been shown to have a specific interaction with Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium, as well as cancer cells. PZC can be used as a modifier in the treatment of staphylococcal infections and has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis in mammalian cells. PZC interacts with histidine residues on the surface of bacterial cells and inhibits their growth by binding to sites on DNA called triplexes. This drug also specifically binds to primary amines and reacts with other molecules containing amines such as polyamines, amides, or thiols.
