Product Information

• Name: 4-Phenyl-2-butanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Phenyl-2-butanone is an organic compound that is used as a solvent. It has been shown to be effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. 4-Phenyl-2-butanone disrupts the cell membrane by binding to glycol ether, which is an important part of the lipid bilayer. It also inhibits the synthesis of two important molecules in bacterial cells, dinucleotide phosphate and phospholipids. This process leads to bacterial cell death. 4-Phenyl-2-butanone also has antimicrobial properties due to its ability to destroy water vapor and inhibit growth of microorganisms on skin.
