Product Information

• Name: Piperacilloic acid
• Synonyms: [2R-[2a[R*(R*)],4b]]-4-Carboxy-a-[[[[(4-ethyl-2 ,3-dioxo-1-piperazinyl)carbonyl]amino]phenylacetyl]amino]-5 ,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolidineacetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Piperacilloic acid is a synthetic compound that exhibits antibacterial activity. It has been shown to be effective against human pathogens, including urothelial carcinoma and human serum. Piperacilloic acid binds to the amino acids lysine and arginine in bacterial proteins and inhibits protein synthesis by inhibiting the function of enzymes that require these amino acids for their activity. The potency of piperacillin is low, but it is activated by hydrolysis in the acidic environment of the stomach or intestinal tract. Piperacilloic acid also has potential as a contraceptive agent because it may inhibit transcriptional regulation of genes that are involved in sperm production.
