• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,3,5-Trimethyladamantane is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of alkanes and has a chemical formula of C10H24. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at high concentrations. The interaction between 1,3,5-trimethyladamantane and bacterial cells is believed to be due to the presence of hydrogen bonds between the aliphatic chains in 1,3,5-trimethyladamantane with the carbonyl groups on glycerol phosphate. This interaction creates an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth. The vapor pressure of 1,3,5-trimethyladamantane is higher than most other alkanes at temperatures below its melting point. This makes it more likely for this compound to be released into the atmosphere as gas rather than being dissolved in water or oil.
