Product Information

• Name: Mollisorin A
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Mollisorin A is a bioactive compound that serves as a potent antifungal agent, which is derived from marine organisms, particularly mollusks. These organisms have evolved complex biochemical pathways to produce Mollisorin A as a defense mechanism against microbial threats in their natural habitats. The mode of action of Mollisorin A involves disrupting the integrity of fungal cell membranes, leading to cell lysis and death through the inhibition of fungal ergosterol synthesis. This specific mode of action makes it highly effective against a range of pathogenic fungi.
