CAS 1885-32-1: 2-Amino-3-methylbenzamide

2-Amino-3-methylbenzamide

Chlorantraniliprole is a fungicide that inhibits the function of the ryanodine receptor and blocks the release of calcium from intracellular stores. It has been shown to be effective against bacteria such as E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella typhimurium in vitro. Chlorantraniliprole was also shown to inhibit bacterial growth in vivo in a mouse model. This drug has demonstrated statistically significant antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptococcus pyogenes. Chlorantraniliprole is an amide with a trifluoromethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom on the pyrazole ring. The chlorantraniliprole molecule contains an anthranilic linker between the chlorantranilic acid and 2-amino-3-methylbenzamide rings.
