Product Information

• Name: 2,3,4-Trichlorobenzaldehyde

Description

2,3,4-Trichlorobenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that is used as an antibacterial agent. It is synthesized by reacting chloral with formaldehyde in the presence of a base. The reaction proceeds through the following steps:

2,3,4-Trichlorobenzaldehyde can be used to treat bacterial infections and has been shown to be effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium perfringens. 2,3,4-Trichlorobenzaldehyde inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV in the bacterial cell wall by competitive inhibition. This binding prevents the formation of an antibiotic-inhibitor complex with the enzyme cell wall synthesis that is required for cell wall biosynthesis and protein synthesis. 2,3,4-Trichlorobenzaldehyde also has an anti-inflammatory effect on prostaglandin synthesis due
