Product Information

• Name: [1,1'-Biphenyl]-3,5-diol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,1'-Biphenyl-3,5-diol is a fluorescent molecule that belongs to the class of antibiotics. It is used as an alkylating agent and has been shown to be effective in cloning and high yield production of proteins in plants. 1,1'-Biphenyl-3,5-diol has also been shown to have antibiotic properties. It specifically inhibits phytoalexin biosynthesis in plants such as rosaceae, which are susceptible to this type of antibiotic. This drug may be useful in fighting bacteria that have developed resistance to other antibiotics. The 1,1'-biphenyl-3,5-diol molecule reacts with DNA by alkylation at the N7 position of guanine (G) and N4 position of adenine (A). In vitro studies show that this drug is a potent inhibitor of bacterial growth in the presence of oxygen and can inhibit DNA gyrase and topoisomer
