Product Information

• Name: D-Mannitol 1-phosphate lithium salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: D-Mannitol 1-phosphate lithium salt (DMPL) is a bacterial growth-inhibiting agent that inhibits the ribitol dehydrogenase enzyme that converts mannitol to ribitol. The wild-type strain of bacteria is more sensitive to DMPL than the mutant strains, which lack this enzyme. This compound has been shown to be active against Aerobacter aerogenes, and it can be used as an antimicrobial agent in plant physiology, where it prevents cell lysis. DMPL is also effective against wild-type strains of E. coli K-12 and has a broad range of pH optima with a maximum at pH 6.0 to 7.0. The reaction mechanism for this drug is not well understood, but it may involve inhibition of the polymerase chain reaction or other enzyme activities.
