Description

D-Gluconic acid manganese salt (DGM) is a glycol ether that is used as an antimicrobial agent in the treatment of infectious diseases. It binds to the metal ions in bacterial cell walls and disrupts their function. DGM has been shown to inhibit enzymes such as phosphoglucoisomerase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and pyruvate kinase. DGM also has covalent linkages that may be involved in its antimicrobial activity. The structure of DGM has been determined by X-ray diffraction data and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, which show that it belongs to group p2.
