Product Information

• Synonyms: Valifenalate methyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-[[(2S)-3-methyl-2-(propan-2-yloxycarbonylamino)butanoyl]amino]propanoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Valiphenal is a chemical compound that belongs to the amide class. It has been shown to control the growth of various bacterial strains, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Valiphenal inhibits lipid biosynthesis in bacteria by binding to bacterial matrix effect enzymes, which are involved in fatty acid synthesis. This inhibition leads to a decrease in the production of lipids, which are an important component of bacterial cell membranes. Valiphenal also inhibits mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase and can be used as an analytical tool for determining the presence of this enzyme in cells. Valiphenal is also used as an agrochemical to control pests on vegetables such as aubergines. Valiphenal is extensively metabolized by esterases or glucuronidases, oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes, reduction by glutathione reductase, or conjugation with glucuronic acid.
