Product Information

• Name: Propylbeta-D-glucopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Propylbeta-D-glucopyranoside is a sugar transport inhibitor that is used to inhibit bacterial growth. It has been shown to bind to the glucose transporter and quench tryptophan fluorescence in plant cells. This active form of Propylbeta-D-glucopyranoside also inhibits bacterial growth by binding to fatty acid esters and cytochalasin, modifiers of cell membrane permeability, which inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids. Microcapsules containing this drug have been shown to be effective against staphylococci and other bacteria. The activity of Propylbeta-D-glucopyranoside can be increased by hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide, which increase the solubility of its salts.
