Isothiazolinone compounds were synthesized by using o-n-substituted benzoic amine as closed-loop raw material.
Sterilization mechanism and characteristics
Sterilization mechanism
CMIT Isothiazolinone is an electroactive fungicide, which mainly relies on the hydrogen bonding between the active part on the heterocyclic ring and the base of DNA molecules in bacterial proteins, and adsorbs on bacterial cells, attacking the cell's nucleophile and destroying the structure of DNA inside the cell, causing it to lose its replication ability, physiological, biochemical reactions, and metabolic activities, ultimately leading to cell death. In addition, it can also exert bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects by disrupting microbial cell membranes and inhibiting enzyme activity.
