CAS 53657-08-2: 1-Nonyl-1H-imidazole

1-Nonylimidazole is a synthetic compound that is used in wastewater treatment. It is also an effective drug for trichomonas vaginalis, a protozoan parasite that causes infectious diseases. 1-Nonylimidazole has been shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of alkylhalides in Trichomonas vaginalis and this inhibition may be due to its ability to interfere with electron transport or the hydroxylation of substrates. 1-Nonylimidazole has antiviral properties and has been shown to be effective against bacterial strains such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. 1-Nonylimidazole inhibits the growth of these bacteria by inhibiting their ability to synthesize proteins. This antibiotic also has bactericidal effects on gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, and Enterobacter aerogen
