Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Furadroxyl is a nitrofuran derivative with broad antimicrobial activity. It is bio‑reduced by bacterial nitroreductases to generate reactive nitroso and hydroxylamine species that interact with DNA and essential enzymes, disrupting replication and metabolic pathways.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in nitrofuran mechanism research, bacterial redox‑enzyme studies, DNA‑damage signalling assays and antimicrobial‑resistance investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Potential mutagenicity, GI upset, hypersensitivity reactions and, at high exposure, systemic toxicity. Handle with nitrofuran‑antimicrobial precautions and appropriate protective equipment.
