Nonatriacontane

Ref. 3D-HAA19486

Product Information

• Name: Nonatriacontane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Nonatriacontane is a glycol ester that has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against bacterial strains. Nonatriacontane inhibits the growth of bacteria by reacting with fatty acids and polyesters, which are essential for the cell membrane and cell wall. The antimicrobial activity of nonatriacontane is due to its ability to activate the polymerase chain reaction, a process by which DNA is copied. The bioactive phytochemical also inhibits fatty acid synthesis in bacteria by interfering with the enzyme's catalytic site. This glycol ester can be used as an antimicrobial agent for various applications, including food preservation, disinfectants, and topical preparations. Nonatriacontane can be extracted from acetate using phase transition temperature or constant pressure methods to prepare samples for analysis.
