Product Information

• Name: WS-12
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: WS-12 is a low-potency antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacterial growth by disrupting the microbial membrane and cell wall. WS-12 is an aryl halide with a cationic side chain that binds to activated filaments, which disrupts the function of the cell membrane. The exact mechanism of how WS-12 interacts with cells is not known, but it has been shown to alter neuronal function, cause growth inhibition in cancer cells, and inhibit the polymerase chain reaction.
