Description:3-Mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane is a silicon-based compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It binds to the surface of bacterial cells and disrupts the cytoplasmic membrane. 3-Mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane is also used in the production of polymers, as an additive in food, and as a corrosion inhibitor. In vitro studies have shown that 3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane inhibits the growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This effect may be due to its ability to bind to human serum albumin, which is required for MRSA cell wall synthesis. 3-Mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane has also been shown to inhibit the growth of other bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex through a reaction mechanism involving sodium citrate
