QUICK LINKS

Chloramphenicol 1-Acetate has been adopted to investigate bacterial mechanisms, particularly those concerning resistance. It plays a role in the exploration of gene expression and the development of novel compounds. The mode of action for Chloramphenicol 1-Acetate involves the inhibition of protein production in bacteria by attaching to the 50S ribosomal subunit, effectively blocking the formation of the protein synthesis initiation complex and thereby impeding bacterial proliferation and survival.
