Product Information

• Name: rac-2-Cyano-2-phenylbutanamide
• Synonyms: 2-Cyano-2-phenyl-butyric acid amidePrimidone impurity D
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Rac-2-cyano-2-phenylbutanamide is a synthetic molecule that is used as a growth regulator. It has been shown to be toxic to the arthropod Mollusca, with an LD50 of 1.6 µg/cm² (milligrams per square centimeter). Rac-2-cyano-2-phenylbutanamide also inhibits the growth of organisms such as Anisopliae and Metarhizium, and has been shown to have an asymmetric effect on tissue culture cells. Rac-2-cyano-2-phenylbutanamide is chemically related to the antibiotic subtilin, which belongs to the class of aminoglycoside antibiotics. Rac-2-cyano-2-phenylbutanamide may inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes and blocking the attachment of aminoacyl tRNA molecules during translation. This compound also inhibits DNA replication in bacteria by preventing DNA
