General description

2-Nitroethanol is an effective crosslinking reagent for inducing scleral tissue cross-linking.It inhibits methane production during in vitro ruminal fermentation.

Application


  • Unsuccessful synthesis of individual 1, 1-dinitroethene: Describes an attempted synthesis involving 2-nitroethanol, detailing the challenges faced in the process (Kras et al., 2024).

  • Inhibitory Effect of Select Nitrocompounds and Chlorate against Yersinia: Examines the bactericidal effects of 2-nitroethanol and other compounds, comparing their antimicrobial activity (Latham et al., 2022).

The efficacy of therapeutic cross-linking of the cornea using riboflavin photochemistry (commonly abbreviated as CXL) has caused its use to become widespread. Because there are known chemical agents that cross-link collagenous tissues, it may be possible to cross-link tissue pharmacologically.
