2,6-Diisopropyliodobenzene is a macrocyclic anion that has been shown to bind to the active site of bacterial ribonucleotide reductase. It competes with the natural substrate, which is required for the reduction of ribose-5-phosphate to deoxyribose-5-phosphate. This leads to a decrease in DNA synthesis and cell growth.
