Description

2-Methoxyacetic acid is a molecule that can be found in many organic compounds, such as drugs, pesticides, and herbicides. It has been used to synthesize antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals. 2-methoxyacetic anhydride is a potent anti-bacterial agent that inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by reacting with the carbonyl group of amino acids, which are essential for protein synthesis. It also reacts with chloride ions and hydrochloric acid to form alkoxy radicals, which react with DNA and RNA molecules to inhibit bacterial growth.
