General description

6-Acetylthiohexanoic acid (6-ATH), also known as 6-(acetylsulfanyl)hexanoic acid, is a hexanoic acid derivative that contains thioacetate group.

Application

6-Acetylthiohexanoic acid has been used in a study to estimate its minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) by microdilution assay. It may be used as a precursor for generating poly-3-hydroxy-6-acetylthiohexanoateco-4-acetylthiobutanoate (PHACOS).

Biomaterial-associated infections represent a significant clinical problem, and treatment of these microbial infections is becoming troublesome due to the increasing number of antibiotic-resistant strains. Here, we report a naturally functionalized bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHACOS) with antibacterial properties. We demonstrate that PHACOS
