CAS 1948-92-1: 4-(4-nitrophenylsulfonyl)aniline

4-Nitro-4'-aminodiphenyl sulfone is a surfactant that is used in a variety of industries, including wastewater treatment and the manufacture of plastics. It has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids and other molecules in cells. 4-Nitro-4'-aminodiphenyl sulfone also inhibits the synthesis of regulatory pathways involved in antimicrobial resistance in bacteria such as chlorobium and solanum tuberosum. The inhibition of fatty acid biosynthesis by 4-nitro-4'-aminodiphenyl sulfone may be due to its ability to bind to catalytic sites on enzymes responsible for this process. This binding prevents them from functioning properly, resulting in an accumulation of fatty acid precursors.

Applications An intermediate in the synthesis of the Daspone metabolite.
