Product Information
Name:Tris(ethylthio)methane
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Tris(ethylthio)methane (TETM) is an antibacterial agent that is a chloride derivative of ethyl formate. It has the ability to cleave peptide bonds, producing amino acid fragments. TETM is a nucleophile and reacts with 7-aminocephalosporanic acid to produce methylsulfide and methyl alcohol. The inhibition constant for TETM against bacteria is 2.0×10 M. The bond cleavage reactions are a result of the electronic interaction between the methylene group (-CH2-) and the sulfur atom in the thiomethyl group (-S-CH3). This reaction is reversible, meaning that TETM can be reduced back to its original form by reducing agents such as sodium borohydride or sodium dithionite.
