CAS 79-05-0: Propionamide

Propionamide is an amide that inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and preventing transcription. It is used in treatment trials for bacterial infections. Propionamide has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in vitro and in vivo, as well as to have an inhibitory effect on experimental solubility data. The chemical properties of propionamide are consistent with a potential use as a drug for treating metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus and obesity.
